Just found this one...according to the majority of the commenters, sirens heard are a STH-10, Screamer, and Type B:

Love the different timed wind-ups and wind-downs!

After looking through more of the user uploads, there is certainly a Screamer and Type B in the mix. The main siren heard is either a Model 3 or 5/7.

You could have found all that out instantly if you had looked at my Maryland map.

The town also has a co-located pair at the main fire station consisting of a Thunderbolt and an omni that I haven't been able to identify but which might be an STH-10.

Street View imagery must have been updated since the last time you looked at this location, as there is "new" (Sep. 2013) imagery right by the sirens now. The "mystery" siren next to the 1003 is a three-phase Model 3, and the Thunderbolt doesn't appear to be used/functional any longer yet the Model 3 has what seems to be some sort of modern aftermarket controller on the pole like the others have. They both can be seen here.

Hmm, indeed it has been. I'll have to swing by and inquire about them next time I pass through the area. Thanks!

Now, so as to stay vaguely on topic...another submission. I know Denmark's WPS-2800s were featured earlier in this thread, but this recording in particular strikes me as being the sort of thing I wouldn't necessarily want to hear out my window.
