Imagine eating Lunch or having a cookout or a family reunion and all of a sudden, it goes off! That'd be really scary!!!

I did a little Google searching about the siren and the only thing I could find was this article from 2018 that mentions a possible renovation of the pavilion and refurbishment of the siren. Nothing about whether or not it's still active.

Oh yes, Sadieville. I came across that thing back in 2016. Here's a thread I made including that siren and a couple others from that day:

Upon further inspection a few years later, Mike and I did find that the breaker panel located under the pavilion has a fuse that is labeled "siren."

Here's one. The ridiculous part is that they originally had it on a pole on their new Fire Department, but decided to move it back to its current location.

That's a bit of a weird location, though not too unreasonable. What model siren is that??
