Nuclear siren to be reactivated in Kimball
A vintage Federal Engineering Model 5 air raid siren will be reactivated at the Kimball Volunteer Fire Department during a public rededication. Organizers say the horn recalls Cold War fears and was used to alert fire crews during emergencies and severe weather. The restoration, funded by the Corte Foundation, includes a 5 pm activation with a reception for attendees.
