Mystery siren/horn in Whitman, MA

Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:03 pm

There is a mystery siren on the roof of the FD, and from looks it may be some type of horn. Anyone have any ideas?

The second horn is a little hard to see.

Yeah, those are air horns. Not sure what brand. Not the typical Federal-Cunningham or Diaphone.

Fairly certain that's a Gamewell Diaphone. This video shows one in an almost identical box setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h__7-95Ogj4

It's not. The horns in that cupola are way too big to be diaphones. Also, the Diaphone is to the left in that box. That other thing is likely a Cunningham horn.
