I believe you might be thinking about the Model 2 in St Francis, or the Whelen 3016 in Madawaska. I checked the Maine map, and Portland was the only place with a Thunderbolt. There are 3 more sirens in Portland according to an old news article, but they're not listed on the Maine map. Who knows, it be cool if they were Thunderbolts too!
Unrelated: Is there a 3016 near Portland? I saw one many years ago.

Yes, there are many Whelen 3016s within 10 miles of Wiscasset, ME as there once was a nuclear power plant there called The Maine Yankee.

it looks to be jailbar
It's just your generic Late 50s/early 60s 1000/1000T. This angle betrays the jailbar claim:

It's not active, its just an old CD siren. There may be more Bolts in Portland, but I haven't found any yet.

A newspaper article online said that there is a total of 4 Civil Defense sirens in Portland and that they are all inactive.

I have seen the siren in person and i don't see a jailbar grill. It appears to be a 1000 or a 1000T.
