Where did you get these photos? And where was this located at in Boise?

cool! do you possibly have an address or street view coordinates? I know the siren has probably been long removed.Andresplazm wrote: ↑Mon Mar 31, 2025 1:35 amAt Fifteenth Street between Front and Grovefullsendersonly wrote: ↑Sun Mar 30, 2025 4:49 pmWhere did you get these photos?

Here's a two for one, first is a picture of the Montataire city hall with their Constructions Électriques du Nord "Gearbox Mk1" siren peeking up..
The 2nd picture is a brochure for the so-called PTR sirens. As a little fun fact, PTR merged with another company (Constructions Électro-Mécaniques, or "CEM") in 1956 to form PETERCEM which still exists to this day (however they do not make sirens anymore):

it is, i can check if you want, it's only an hour out, perfect for a Sunday.ACAAllertorManiac wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 3:22 pmCame across this while browsing vintageaerials.com. A Whelen WS-2000R and a Model 2 (behind the belfry). Ironically the Whelen is gone and the presumably much older Model 2 is still there. Rocks Village, MA in 1986.

Here are six 'vintage' siren photos that I have found over time...
The first one is from Passaic, New Jersey with one of their gas-powered B&N Mobil Directo. This unit was removed.
download by CD Sirens NJ, on Flickr
The second one is of Jersey City with one of their gas-powered B&N Mobil Directo. This unit was removed.

The third one is a photo of the Wildwood Crest Fire Department in Wildwood Crest NJ in the 1930s on a postcard. The siren resembles a Champion, Little Giant, or a FE Model B. This siren was replaced with a Model 7 that is still there today.

The fourth photo is of a Federal Electric Model B on top of the Greenwood Forest Fire Department in West Milford, New Jersey. This would be replaced with an STL-10 which is still there today.

The fifth photo is of a Fedelcode Model 5 or 7 at the West Windsor Township Fire Department in West Windsor Township, New Jersey. This siren would unfortunately be removed in the '90s.

The sixth one is of a Federal Signal Model 7 for the Hibernia Fire Department in Rockaway Township, New Jersey that was taken in the 2000s. The mount is now completely different.
