Does anyone know why the EOWS 1212 by Crosby Elementary is still standing, despite having a T-128 on the road behind it?

It may still be standing due to the cost of removal. Some of the sirens in the old system cost more than the value of the siren itself to remove. For example, the Park Place 1000 would have cost $2000 to remove versus leaving it there.

Last I knew, the Crosby Elementary and Shandon 1212s were the only two still standing.

Anyone know if Butler County's radio issues have been fixed? Last month during the test there was a glitch where sirens in the City of Hamilton and possibly elsewhere throughout the county did not activate, and only some of the county's sirens did. Apparently someone had called OEM and they were going to get the contractor out there, but I have no idea if that actually has occurred.

I am at home from Akron right now due to some ongoing issues, and was hoping to maybe catch a test of the Sirex again to get a better video of it than I did in 2019, but might just be safer doing a Warren County 2001 or something, idk.

Something is going on with Massie Township's Thunderbolt 1003. It hasn't activated for the past 2 tests. I wonder if something is wrong with the reversed blower? I know that Werden Electric has been out there several times to fix it, replacing blown fuses.

If it isn't activating at all, that directly points to either a radio or power issue. It may have been turned off while it's being worked on or the RTU on the siren is not functioning.

I drive by that siren every day on my way to and from work and I’ve noticed the same thing! It doesn’t appear to change directions after test days. They need to get someone out there to repair whatever is wrong with it.

I’ve noticed that siren sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t.

This afternoon, there was a tornado warning that included southeast Warren County. As I was leaving work, I was surprised to find the 2001-SRNB in Mason facing a different direction. My office has no windows, so we’re typically unaware of weather conditions or any outdoor activity just from being inside there. Obviously, there was no need for anyone in Mason to take shelter. Warren County must not have any capability of selecting which sirens to activate like Hamilton County does. IIRC, don’t the Cities of Franklin and Lebanon each have their own system? What about other jurisdictions in the county?

I’m not sure about which communities do and don’t control their systems separately in Warren County, but I do know that Lebanon’s sirens are controlled separately from the county. Sirens in many of the outlying rural areas and municipalities (Harveysburg/Massie Township for example) are controlled by Warren County Dispatch.
