This one I had on backlog for awhile.
Decided to stay close to home for this one. I'd been wanting to hear this siren for the longest time, and with it being only a 5 minute drive from my house, I decided to go see it and document another siren in my county. This LOW Model 7 is mounted no more than 20 feet off the ground, and was extremely loud, likely due to how low it is mounted.
I was very nervous this thing wouldn't sound at first, given it's crusty condition, and when I pulled in I saw that wires leading to the siren were cut. I thought about leaving and assumed the siren was disconnected, until I saw a new set of wires coming directly out of the motor service door and into the building. When I saw that, I decided to just stay and see what it did. I certainly wasn't expecting to get one minute of attack, and it was awesome!
The building it's mounted on is now the Village's service garage, but used to be the fire station. This siren was installed in 1956 when the station was constructed, according to the cornerstone on the building.
As far as I know, this is the only siren in Greene County that does attack, as the rest of the sirens do alert for about two minutes, except for the base and Fairborn's sirens. This siren used to be a fire siren, and attack was probably the fire signal.
Towards the end of the video, you can hear Kettering's RM-127's sounding for the attack portion of the test. Prominently heard is the unit at Polen Farm, which was 7.71 miles from this location. The fact that those sirens can be heard from this distance clearly is incredible.
I met up with Aiden (Sirens of SW Ohio) for this test. Enjoy!
Greene County (including Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) conducts siren testing on the First Monday of every month at 12:00 PM. Tests will be cancelled if severe weather is in the area.
