Just given the way the housing is built, i bet it's a Federal Model something.

Well that's really strange. I'd like to guess there's a Federal Signal Model 5/7 hiding in there, but I can't tell.

How about this?

Model 1?

I've seen this siren in person, it's way bigger than a 1. I think it's a 5 with a custom housing.

A Model 1 appears to be around 12" in diameter.

Sorry for my extremely vague post, but does anyone know what type of siren is on The Hungry Horse fire department, in Hungry Horse, Montana? We recently went on a trip to Glacier Nat'l Park and when we left the park we saw the Hungry Horse dam.we kept driving and saw the fire department and I very quickly tried to snap a picture from a moving car... The pictures came out pretty bad, and I can't upload them now. I tried taking screenshots in google earth, but it is no more than a few pixels. I will try to give a description.
-Omnidirectional
-White bottom, Red (or rusted) Top.
-Pole Mounted
-No projector cones.
I don't know how to describe the housing... I guess I should say it is extremely, uh, round? It has a rounded top I guess. I might have seen it before on this forum. Sorry... This probably requires personal knowledge, so I don't expect a reply...

It appears to be a Darley Model 3 judging by the size of the housing. Either way it's definitely one of those vertical Darley sirens with a Federal vertical model inside (Model 3 or 5/7). Here's the best street view image I could get of it; you may have to zoom in a little since for some reason it shows up as fully zoomed out.

Holy cow, thank you! I can't really use the link because I am on a first generation iPad... It has lots of
trouble with google maps. Thanks though!
