TORNADO WARNING SIGNALS- In the spring, we experience a county-wide tornado drill. Many people cannot remember which siren represents the “warning” and “all clear”. A tornado WATCH: Means conditions are favorable for a tornado. No siren is sounded.

1ST Siren – WARNING: One long whistle (3 minutes). Means that a tornado has been spotted – TAKE COVER.

2ND Siren – ALL CLEAR: A normal whistle (wavering) lasting one minute.

New to town?  Hearing the fire whistle might not be something you are accustomed to hearing, the list below may be helpful.

The whistle will blow at 12PM and 6PM one time.

If the fireman are dispatched to a call you will often hear the whistle blow 3 times in a row.

As stated above, in inclement weather the 3minute long whistle means to take cover.  The second whistle lasting 1 minute means all clear.
