Here's a Model 5 15 miles from me on a fire social hall. The fire house is up the street.

Not to derail the topic but is that the siren used in 4J's model 5 icon?

you want a low mounted siren?

here's my own picture. Every time I visit my dad's work I pass this place. It's on the ground. And active.

Why not just post a streetview link? That screenshot you sent is streetview.

Here's a somewhat low mounted FS Model 2

I wonder why it's so frequently fire departments that have such low mounts? Think they're trying to save money on mounting somehow?

Usually because some rural fire departments dont have the money or resources to have a company put in a tall pole, plus its easier to access for matinence.

Wow! I'd think that was just on display if you hadn't said it was active. It looks very well maintained.

That one was actually just removed sometime within the last month or two, and I think it will now be on display at the Cold War Museum here in Northern VA.
