Most of the sirens in this are are located at major intersections if there’re not at a fire station. There’s even one example of a model 2 at the fire station and another model 2 at the near by intersection. Does anyone know of any reason why they are so close to each other?
My only guess is for added/better warning power since the sound they emit can travel in all directions better than if they were situated on a street with buildings blocking some of the directions (thus meaning that the sound could only travel well up & down the street as opposed to in all directions).
I have a feeling this will have something to do with it, as well as convenient places where municipal power is likely readily available.
There’s still one thing, why have sirens that are literally within not even a quarter of a mile of each other?
In the case of the second image the unit on the FD is inactive leaving the other to be the active unit. (A dot marks inactive on most maps that aren’t icon). I’d need to look at the map to get any more indepth.
I don’t know if this helps. The location is Long Island New York. (It may not work properly if the device you are using has Google Maps)

Oh. Long Island. It’s because those sirens are a huge network of fire sirens for Long Island. I think the New York siren map shows their respective stations
