Found this old picture of the Hillcrest Fire Dept. in Binghamton, NY. I have no idea what the siren is. Perhaps a Model 5 or something with a custom housing. Now they have a newer station with a Model 2. https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/420622_10150598474409094_1472332679_n.jpg?oh=3dce5...

Having a BBQ right under a siren!

It may only be a 3V8-H, but I still wouldn't want to be those guys if it went off, haha.

EOWS1212man: Great find with that article! I was planning to do some research into the town's history. It does kinda suck that they don't use it any more, but I definitely think it was much too big for the size of the town. I can hear the Model 5 from where I live if the wind is right; I can only im...

New York is awesome. While there are a lot of Model 2s, 5s, and STH-10s, you occasionally stumble upon something old and unique. Such as this thing. I'm linking to the map rather than taking a screenshot so that you can view the siren from different angles. At first I thought it was a Sterling, but ...

Hmm, quite an interesting spread. There are huge clusters of locations in the northwest, Texas area and above, and the midwest, with a few smaller clusters elsewhere. It seems like there have been several attempts at making a map like this. Hopefully this one will actually go far. Feel free to use l...

That doesn't look very low to me, but it's definitely rather poorly placed. It's literally ON the playground, haha. I don't know about most kids, but if I were there while young and it went off, I'd probably be traumatized for life. (I hated loud noises as a kid.)

Wow, is that thing active?

Wow, I was just in Brooklyn two weeks ago. I remember the discussion on this siren; people were saying it was a 40V1T, but it looks like they were wrong. Love the videos. I bet you can hear that thing throughout most of the city, haha.

What I'm wondering is, why is it PN-20 and not P-20? Nice video though!

Perhaps it's just a machine shop siren? Someone could've made the chopper/horn assembly and stuck an electric motor on it.

Love the pictures though. Whelen omnis always look so small when they're up on a pole. That thing has to be what? 7-8 feet tall? And that's just a 7-cell model.
