When me, dominic, Glist, and Tom went to the C-series on Wednesday, the sirens in Pierce Township and Union Township went off way later than the surrounding T-128s.4J25 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 3:40 pmSorry for the double post, but I just got off the phone with the Brown County EMA and the Franklin Township/Felicity Fire Department.
I was wrong as far as Brown County having anything to do with them, at least from what I understood from the phone call with them.
As far as Franklin Twp. Fire, the chief who manages a lot of the maintenance for sirens wasn't in, but I was able to talk about the sirens anyways. The firefighter I talked to said he actually lives near the Hornet and also heard it go off early, and mentioned it going way longer than usual (the two wail cycles). Additionally, he said that the T-128 in Point Isabel went off early as well, which insinuates that the early activation was not exclusive to the Hornet(s). He also mentioned that he received no tones through his scanner but usually does.
My first thought was that Clermont could have performed testing of separate zones yesterday, but I imagine the activation tones would have all come through on the same channel. Otherwise, they may be changing around radios and/or switching over to a new channel. The whole situation is really bizarre. I plan on speaking to the chief at Felicity when he gets in next week.
it was strange. we heard some form of activation tone for the 128s, but it sounded nothing like the normal Clermont County tones
5 minutes later the regular tones went out and set off the sirens. We also heard a T-128 wind down after only a minute, while the rest kept going.
