Erie County Department of Public Safety will be conducting a Quarterly Municipal Disaster/Storm Siren Test for Erie County on:
Wednesday, April 15th 2026
12:00 City of Corry, Columbus, Elgin Beaver Dam
12:15 Union City
12:30 West County, Edinboro and McKean
12:45 Mill Village and Waterford
13:00 East County
This test is done four times a year to ensure that in the event of weather related emergency the siren operates properly.
The difference between the fire siren and the weather siren is the following:
Fire Siren: Fire siren goes off in the event the fire company is dispatched for a fire, motor vehicle accident or rescue situation. It cycles up and down for a total of three short bursts.
Storm Siren: Storm siren goes off in the event of severe weather to notify the general public to seek immediate shelter and tune into NOAA weather radio or other media sources for information. The siren is activated and will sound for a steady 3-minute cycle.

We would like to say THANK YOU to this wonderful community! The Girard Police Department, Girard Fire Department, Lake City Fire Department and West County Paramedics were able to collect over 1300 pounds of food and over $1600.00 for the Christian Cupboard today! Thank you to everyone that braved the cold with us! Even after all the time spent outside our firefighters answered the call again to extinguish a garage on fire. So proud of our local first responders!
