Feel free to add any pictures you can find, sirens and water towers seem to go together for some reason.

Cool pictures.

Small world! My grandparents live in Lindstrom, MN and I'll actually be up there in about a week and a half. I don't think that Model 5 is there anymore but it definitely blends in. It was replaced by a 2001 at least 8-9 years ago because it was there when my grandparents moved there. It's an older AC or DC model. I know it used to sound for fire calls but I think Lindstrom went to pagers.

The next town over (Center City) has a Model 5 right on the highway mounted on top of the post office

That's a SOUNDMASTER, by the way, on the first post. GOOD PIC. :)

I got one of an old 10/12 Allertor next to an old water tower. Here it is.

I was wondering how long it would be till someone noticed that.

That lower one's a Federal, methinks.
