It's either a WPS-2750 or 2805, I'm not sure which though.

There is a similar one in Thomas, Oklahoma on top of an abandoned town hall. What is it?

That is either a Federal Horizontal or a Darley Champion. I seen a similar siren in Wabeno, WI.

I'm assuming it is a Darley Champion because idk6000 has a video of one up. I thought it was only a firetruck siren at first, didn't expect it to be that big. Thanks for the help.

It is indeed a Darley Champion.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

Weren't Darley Champions also vertical? they look like a bird cage sorta. The one where I think earlier in this thread, Robert Gift said it was R2-D2.

Yes, that is the 12 port version which is basically a Model 5 in a slotted can casing. Here is one example. http://jmarcoz.com/sirens/monfort1_wi.jpg

Thanks for the info! They have an old one in WaKeeney, KS on top of a building downtown. I wonder if it is still used anymore....
