Maybe a Master Blaster? It might be just a PA system.

Jackson, MI Fire Station 3 (closed). Look at the siren on the roof. Perhaps a Sparton? The siren is no longer used. It was turned off when the 2001 went up on a pole next to the Fire Station.

That appears to be a Darley model 3 or 5 missing the bottom part of the housing. Also, it's pretty funny that there is a West shore services truck in the pic.
I have an unhealthy obsession with mini sirens.

Cool, I didn't notice the truck I'll have to look again. As for the siren the bottom isn't missing. Jackson had 3 of these at one point they all looked the same except the color. The ones at Fire Station 2 and 3 were red and one at the Airport that was a sea green color. The sirens at Station 2 and the Airport were removed. All were the same shape probably placed in the late 50's or early 60's. They were still active up till they were replaced by the 2001's in the late 90's. The one pictured is the only one standing. The other 2 were removed a long time ago. Thanks, for the info.

Sterling K5, the scales give it away, although it does look a little too short and fat. I wonder if there were smaller K-series sirens.
