Seeing as how the 'bolt at city hall is a 4M, and based upon the serial number (which is T-2176-D) the article above I believe is from 1965.
Yes, I have heard that it is a 4m from multiple sources, and the blower look.
I got the pictures right here...

Well, it is found!
I took another visit to the newspaper site I visited before and decided to look around the area it highlighted.
Lucky me, I found what siren sat on top of fire station one!

Though, I do not recognize who made it. Federal signal?

BUMP!
Hello everyone,
after doing light searching for a couple of years, I have finally stumbled across a modern-day picture of the B&M at Fire Station 1.

This mostly concludes the search for sirens in Palm Springs. I will stay posted for any more things I learn more of!
