Just wanted to update, Goshen Twp has decided to deactivate their sirens permanently after the tornado.CincyTboltman wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 8:40 pmGoshen Township Fire Station 18 was partially destroyed by a confirmed tornado this afternoon. The yellow Penetrator on top is still standing, but may be removed soon. It's my understanding that nobody got hurt. There are pics on Twitter about it.
Here's a news link. You can see the Penetrator if you zoom in.

Yes, I'm aware about goshen Township's P-15 being permanently deactivated. I heard that it was not even hooked to a radio. It had to be manually activated. There wasn't enough time for them to activate it.fire_freak_57 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 06, 2022 2:27 pmJust wanted to update, Goshen Twp has decided to deactivate their sirens permanently after the tornado.CincyTboltman wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 8:40 pmGoshen Township Fire Station 18 was partially destroyed by a confirmed tornado this afternoon.

I think the current T-128s (if any still run with good batteries in them as they are "DC-Only"), will probably be run until they die and not be touched after that. I haven't read into anything officially so I'm not sure.
Also in regards to Hamilton County, I was at a training exercise (which coincidentally was tornado themed) with Ham Co EMHSA staff as part of my internship on Wednesday (we were at Mt St Joseph University) and since we ended around 11:30 I decided to record the SRN on top of Seton Hall there.
Unfortunately my video came out slightly botched since I set up with minutes to spare but it is what it is. You can hear surrounding T-128s in other parts of Delhi Township throughout the video as well, which I thought was kind of cool. According to records on the office computers this very-late production SRN was installed around January of 2003. It was nice to finally record something in Hamilton County, since it is not real close to where I live (a little over an hour south), prior to this internship this summer at EMA I didn't go down there much.

It should have had a radio on it, as far as I'm aware & from videos of it, it was radio activated along with the two T-128s in the Township. My understanding at least from the news was that none of Clermont County's sirens were activated before the tornado touched down, as there was about 90 seconds between the warning first going out and the tornado hitting, I think there was simply not enough time.CincyTboltman wrote: ↑Sat Aug 06, 2022 4:43 pmYes, I'm aware about goshen Township's P-15 being permanently deactivated.
