I found this in Palmetto, GA. I know it's a Federal, but what kind? It looks like either a Fedelcode with a top part from a Model 5, or a Model 5 with a spliced together housing.

Looks like a Fedelcode 5 with the top louver of a regular 5 to me.
Don't wait. Take a siren photo today.

It's just a regular Fedelcode 5 with the bottom louver bent downwards a little bit. Either that or the shadow on the side is playing tricks.

Looks like three Model D-sized sirens on a pole. I've seen these before in very small towns.

That doesn't look like a Little Giant to me at all. It looks like a modified Federal lion to me
The 'proper' name for those is Type B, Lion came from "roars like a lion" or something in an ad. Anyway, it looks like a Type B dual head to me as well.

Actually Trevor, the proper name for the siren we all know as the Federal Lion is actually (wait for it) the Federal Fire Siren... the Type B is a whole other animal. The Type B is what the streetview shows that was being discussed, the Federal Fire Siren is another dual headed siren. I can't post a pic of one because I am at work... and work has declared that photobucket is run by the devil thus it is blocked.
