ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

I cannot for the life of me figure out what this siren is.
Since I don't know how to post pictures of street view, the siren is on top of a fire station in Thornton, Colorado at Dorothy Road and Nagel Drive. Could someone please try to ID it?

Here's a Google link to it.

Oh to me it looks like an STL-10 with some missing projectors(Horns.)

Edit: Looks like I was beaten to the punch, here it is anyway.

Here's the picture. As to my guess, I really have no idea. Could be an air horn system, or an almost hornless STL/STH-10 siren with the vertical piece being the motor. The picture is too blurry to tell.

Thanks, guys. I guess the only way to find out what it is is to drive by there and see. I'm assuming it belongs to the fire department, because I just now read an article about Thornton that says "we don't need sirens because people can just look outside because mother nature gives its own warning."

Just as we were riding Mt. Nebo Rd. last week, we passed a siren I long have been looking. I have heard it before, but never was able to locate it.

As far as I remember, it sounded like a Model 5. One of the Sterling Verticals, perhaps?[/i]

[Modulator Master]

Yes that is a Sterling Vertical Model, I can tell by the legs and housing of the siren.

Saw this one on the bus trip to a Quiz Bowl Match... Any Clues? It looks its right in someones back yard and its part of the Wood County Ohio System.
