Our church's youth pastor is on a trip in Israel and he sends back weekly videos and that is a sreenshot from that video. Also he knows how much I like sirens so I assume that is why he took that photo.
Thank you for the answer.

Meant to post this much earlier but anyway I found this in Bicknell, Indiana, two weeks ago. I know what the bottom sirens are, obviously
, but I am not 100% sure what the top siren is. I presume it is a Decot of some sort (maybe even an Erick) but I'm not sure. I showed a few people it and they weren't so sure either. I thought it would be safer to just post it on the board.
Here are a few close ups that I took when I tried to record it Saturday. It is located on Washington Street at an old Fire Dept. It is controlled by the Knox Co. Dispatch and also the EMA.
Also it looks like it may have twelve ports.

That is not a Decot, that's an Erick Fire Siren. They're extremely common around the Midwest and up north in the Dakotas and Minnesota, and sound a lot like an STH-10 or an old WWII-era Model 5. Pretty uncommon to find one outside of that area, especially as far east as Indiana.

I have to agree, it is no question an Erick siren. Indiana is not that far east for one, I found one that was restored here in Massachusetts on a VFD, but as far as I know it is not hooked up yet.

Does anybody know what this is? It's on a firehouse near me.
Sorry I couldn't get a better camera angle. Hopefully somebody will be able to figure it out just by looking at this bit (I assume it's where the sound comes out of.) of it.

That looks like a loudspeaker/horn. Maybe they play tones through it or something.

It looks like it might be a Little Giant or a Darley Champion from the end, but honestly I don't think it's possible to tell.
