I think it's the one at the airport based on it's condition.

Ah, I love this photo. You are taking a nice bike ride around Lake Algonquin in Wells, NY on an old, worn-out road, and you pull out your camera to take a photo of the Model 5 at the Fire Department, because you know it will come out good.

here are some pictures of the model 2 I live near at West Granville Fire department company 17. I think its an 80's model based off of the distance of the flanges. I wasn't able to tell its mounted really high and i had forgot my glasses when i went to walk to the station. As far as i know this siren is inactive or rarely goes off anymore. my reasoning behind it is that the fire department is going to be moved/ a new one is being built because the company now is so small and they have had plans of rebuilding in a dirt lot a few miles down the highway. another reason is that this siren is activated by an old minator 2 pager relay system and the fire department has no funds to upgrade to the newest minator 6 system. it hasn't kicked the bucket because every so often i hear it. Anyway enjoy the pictures hope to get a word with the fire chief about the future of this unit when they build the new station it would be a great memento of my childhood to own. :wink:

All of these photos are from Powell River, BC. The model 2 on a pole has since been joined by another, presumably for backup, so now there are 2 model 2s beside each other (on the same pole).

I found this as a replacement for an old Model 2 at the Alum Bank Fire Co.
