After snooping around that siren for a while, I would not be surprised if it was a small Whelen with a strange cone shoved on top of it.

It does look like a single cell Whelen. You can even see the brackets.

Wasn't the siren originally bought from Germany according to the fire department?

Good point.

Whatever it is, it's probably a lot bigger than you guys think, looks like it's at least as wide as a Model 7 going by the area light and speakers below it.

I figured it was a lightning detector mostly because it is located right by a large park area, Detectors are often beside parks or sports fields. That being said, after looking at it more closely, it definitely looks more like a siren. From certain angles the motor is visible (or at least what looks to be the motor). The dome cover could be stock and not homemade if it is a German made siren, many German sirens have similar covers. Of course that doesn't mean it isn't homemade, there is a good chance of that too. Air intake could be on the underside of the rotor like an e57, which would explain the low profile.

Came up with this.

Umm.. Has anyone ever thought about calling that department?

Does anyone know their phone number? Hopefully, someone can call them.

According to google, their phone number is (570) 654-2503

Not able to call them.

And I don't think it would be possible to have the motor on top of the chopper, seems impossible to me.

You can barely see a chopper...
