While the top looks like a Darley, I have to go with it being a vent. It looks like it's mounted atop a chimney.

I'm going with vent. It's not a fire station anymore, and I doubt it's an active village hall.
Edit: also agreeing with above, it appears to be mounted right above a chimney. It wouldn't be a bad idea to compile a thread of "common chimney vents" to cross-reference, since quite a few look very similar to sirens.

I don't know man, that looks a hell of a lot like a vent and is in a perfect place to be one
Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.

Compare the top caps between the two. Given that this is on top of the current village hall, it being a modified Champion is undisputable.
