Fire Station

What is the purpose of the big siren in the tower beside the fire station?
I don't know if this is characteristic of fire departments in my area or if this is nationwide, however, I noticed that any fire station built around the 1960's has a loud annoying siren up in a tower or directly above the building. I have not heard the siren in about 15 years or so, however, I see them all over my area. What is the purpose of this siren?
To tell the Johnstons their damn cat is in the tree again.
