I looked one up, and I'm not 100% sure what this siren looks like. I'll try to pay attention next time I drive by that area...

[Branden2732]

@xSambora they are all federal signal 2001-130

[heinwinkle]

Is that siren a FS 2001?

[djscrizzle]

Yup. No mistaking it is a 2001, due to the high pitched sound they produce.

[Branden2732]
