I looked at archival street view all the way to 2008, and it appears there was actually no siren up to the point the 508 was installed. Maybe there was one long ago. It does look like the fire station is fron the 1970s. I wonder if there was one when that station was first built

That doesn't necessarily mean there was no siren. There are a lot of years before 2008, meaning at any time there could have been another siren that was removed before street view coverage was available
Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.

I've been in Columbus for 20 years, and I recall a newspaper story saying that Kenton had a siren that was destroyed in a 1974 storm and was never replaced. So, they had no siren until the 508 was installed due to no funds available. That's what I remember, anyway.
