so ever since I was 5 i've seen this sterling siren, its beside a fire dept so its a fire siren, I've confirmed it as a sterling because I saw "sterling fire alarm"or something like that engraved in the side.
here is the coordinates:
44.567170, -63.727097
also this is my first post.

That's indeed a 5VX. I remember stumbling upon it while mapping out Nova Scotia and being surprised to find one all the way out there.

I'm pretty sure the cone itself was made by the fire department. It looks to be a completely different color from the siren itself, and this wouldn't be the first time a fire department has "modified" their siren.
