🚨Dispatch Detail Bonus🚨
Have you ever wondered how tornado sirens are set off? 🌪️Did you picture a hand crank attached to a horn? 📢
Thanks to technology, dispatch can start and stop the sirens for select cities with a light tap on a touchscreen. Other cities rely on their fire departments or even their local police to set them off.
Also testing the sirens on the first Tuesday of the month at 10am is a statewide practice.
On a bright sunny day have you ever heard the siren and think “Ope, it must be 10am.” Us too.
