Fire Alarm Test Monday In City Hall Air Horn
City officials announce a Monday afternoon test of the new general fire alarm agreed by four local fire company presidents. The air horn on City Hall will sound three blasts of ten seconds, spaced 30 seconds apart, with all four company sirens. The test checks volunteer firefighters ability to hear the alarm and how long the system takes to reach all units. The test lasts about 90 seconds, drivers take positions but no streets are blocked and traffic lights will blink. The air horn is being used for general alarms again after a two year gap, and will also sound air raids with the same signals.
