This, along with a few others, are the remnants of the Reno CD system. There are quite a few other 550-ATs scattered about Nevada at small municipal fire departments.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

I think it might still be active, there are a lot spread out in Reno/Sparks. They are supposedly still active but don't test
Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.

If it does work and is used, the rotator certainly doesn't work anymore. It hasn't rotated in at least 13+ years.

The siren has looked like this since 2009 according to Google Maps. If it's active I'm surprised no one's been bothered to fix it. Looks pretty sloppy!
