Sorry if I got your hopes up with the title,
Me and Aaron/Duderocks5539 met up at the Mt Baldy Fire Department on June 3rd to see the Denver test, but due to it not being wired they tested the Model D instead. It was my first time hearing one of those smaller Federal Signal model sirens and was nicely loud.
They also let us go on the roof of the fire department to get up close to the Denver, bearings were still great!

I thought it was made by the Pearse Co. out of Denver. Is that the same thing?

Oh yeah, your right.
I thought it was Pearse Colorado, but like you said it is in fact Pearse Company.

Oh wait, maybe it is supposed to mean Pearse Colorado. If that is a real town. My bad

Julius Pearse Fire Dept Supply Company, Denver County Colorado. This siren is old. Very old. But it's not a "Denver Siren" made by Dillon Box Iron Works, however, it may have been an attempt to compete.

Oh, then we might have our answer here.

I got an email from the fire chief a couple of days back stating that they fixed the siren! He got an electrician down there and the issue was a spider web making the relay stuck, they got it cleaned up and it roared to life.
So, I met up with Duderocks5539/Aaron on the 1st of July and they set it off.
