This, along with a few others, are the remnants of the Reno CD system. There are quite a few other 550-ATs scattered about Nevada at small municipal fire departments.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

I think it might still be active, there are a lot spread out in Reno/Sparks. They are supposedly still active but don't test

If it does work and is used, the rotator certainly doesn't work anymore. It hasn't rotated in at least 13+ years.

The siren has looked like this since 2009 according to Google Maps. If it's active I'm surprised no one's been bothered to fix it. Looks pretty sloppy!
