Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

[carexpertandy]

Today, I saw a new T-128 in Carthage, at the fire station near the corner of Seymour Ave & Vine St where a Thunderbolt sits. Yes, this was originally supposed to be a roof mount, and it is connected to the electric with the power still turned off.

I am still curious as to why the local news media hasn't done a story about how messed up this is.

Also, it seems WLWT recently did a story about Codesphere (or whatever it's called) in wake of the recent events in Boston.

?We can just draw a circle on the map or identify it by ZIP code and notify just those residents. We can narrow it down to just a few houses on a street,? said Warning Coordinator Dana Schratt.

Schratt said at the last test, EMA could alert the entire county in four hours if needed.

That last sentence is perfect proof of why R-911 simply does not work for alerting a ton of people in a timely manner.

Drove by the T-128 on Blue Rock again tonight, and of course the power switch is still turned off. I guess it's time to email the EMA and find out what's going on. It's completely unacceptable to leave a siren hooked up to the power but turned off for several months.

I know this doesn`t belong on this thread, but it is Clermont county, just trying the new forum out.

If it's within the metro area of Cincinnati, then it's relevant.

So where is that P-15?

Clermont County is indeed within the Cincinnati Metro Area.

I'm going to Tennessee for vacation this summer, and on my return I will be siren hunting in Cincinnati. I have a map of Hamilton's sirens printed out, but I was wondering if any of you know of or have a map with the locations and the siren model at each location. Any possible help will be appreciated.

Where in Clermont is that? It's interesting that they're putting up a refurbished P-15 instead of a shiny new T-128.

Just been wondering, are we ever going to have another meetup at Clayton's?

Also, FS Thunderbolt Man, I don't have a map, but most are either old sirens (Mostly T-Bolts, some SD-10s, a few Penetrator 10s and 15s, an STL-10, an STH-10, and lots of others) with replacements next to them. (T-128s) There are also lots of 2001s. (SRNs, an SRN*B, DCs) And on a final note, downtown should be expecting two E-Class sirens in the near ( ) future.

And to answer Urbanexplorer's question, to my belief it is because Hamilton County is donating some of their older sirens to surrounding counties. There are other refurbished P-15s scattered around the county, one of which is in Summerside that replaced a Model 5 and I have recorded it.
