The Siren Board

Does anyone have a map of Butler counties sirens. I have the 2001s and EOWS 612s and 1212s, but im missing all the rest. like tbolts.

Here's the complete list: http://butlercountyohio.org/ema/index.c ... her_Sirens

For those who are good at determining the model of sirens from not-so-great-quality pictures, can anyone tell what this is? http://binged.it/THzV4s

Judging by the shape and size of it from looking at both Bing and Google satellites, it looks to be a white Sentry 3V8-H or 7V8.

I was also thinking 3V8-H, though it looks yellow to me. I'll have to find a chance to get up there and investigate it.

Sentry sells all of their sirens in yellow as an option. I found out that there is a small difference between the 3V8-H and 7V8. The best way to find out might be to go see it.

The 3V8 has a much smaller chopper than the 7V8 does. The 3V8 is based off of a Sterling M5, and the 7V8 is based off of a M10.

If only that weren't an hour away.

I'll try to get up there soon and see what I can find.

The new T-128 on Kemper Commons Circle in Springdale appears to be operational finally! It had been pointed west for months since it was installed, and I saw from the Lowe's parking lot across the street today and it is now pointed east.

Was out today and saw some still standing sirens and replacements:

New American Signal T-128 at the intersection of Martin Drive and Loudin Street in Mount Adams, Ohio. I guess this is going to cover most if not all of Eden Park. Not sure if there was a siren in Eden Park before this one.


Close up:


Old Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000(T?) on the Purcell Marian High School at 2935 Hackleberry Street in Walnut Hills, OH. Did some Google Earthing and found the replacement, which is about a half a mile away at Park Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. Anyway, heres the T-Bolt:


And last but not least, an old Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000(AT?) with its new replacement, an American Signal T-128, standing next to it. This is located at Fairfax Avenue and Cinnamon Street, just north of Walnut Hills, and east of Norwood.
