Located at the pumping station near the end of Sonora Ct. in the Northcreek subdivision (this is the one that can be seen off I-70). This siren along with another P-127 behind the Government Center/Fire Station 98 were installed sometime during the spring of 2006. Sirens in Englewood are typically tested on the 1st Monday of every month at noon, weather-permitting. Englewood has 3 P-127s, a Sentry 5V, and around 4 Federal Signal 2001-130s (along with an older Federal omni which may or may not be active).
Since most places weren't going to test due to Independence Day observed, I decided to go to Englewood on the First Monday with some friends. This was my first time ever hearing a P-127, and I have to say, this siren was extremely loud and vibrated the ground when it pointed directly at us. The sound level was comparable to the Werden Electric B-115 I saw in Casstown.
Compared to its ASC counterpart, it was much louder than any RM-127 I have ever heard and honestly blows every single one of those out of the water. Mikey (mn_sirens) and Chris A. (SirenDude1003) drove down from Illinois to meet myself, August (CVG1000T), and Jeremy (SuperSirex127) at this siren. Dominic and Benicio (Central Ohio Sirens) were over recording the P-127 at the government center across town; we met up with them for ice cream after the test. During the test, you may be able to hear the 2001-130 at the industrial park across I-70.
For those who are not aware, the P-127 is essentially a rebranded P-15 that's manufactured by Werden Electric, a local electric company and siren dealer based out of the Cincinnati area.
It was a very fun day, and will be one of my more memorable siren tests for sure.
