Accidental storm siren trip prompts swift action
Earlier today the storm siren at 2nd and W. Lexington streets in Adrian sounded, but it was an accident. This is the second time the unit has sounded for no apparent reason, and that was reason enough for city officials and Fire Chief Gary Dizney to take further steps to insure it won't happen again."We've been working on the problem since it happened the first time, but now we've made sure it won't accidentally trip again" said Dizney.
The network of storm sirens in Adrian are normally activated by way of a radio signal that is broadcast throughout town- the sirens 'hear' the encoded message and turn on or off as required. The sirens may also be activated manually at each location.
Within 15 minutes of the accidental sounding today, the unit was shut down and Butler dispatch notified of the trip.
To remedy the problem until necessary repairs are made, the unit has been taken off line, meaning that it temporarily cannot be activated by radio. In the event of an actual storm or tornado situation, it will be manually turned on by fire personnel.
"This is a bad time of the year for this to happen" said Chief Dizney "We will continue to operate the unit manually until a trained repairman can get it fixed. This will definitely insure there will be no more false alarms". He went on to say that in the event of an actual storm warning, not only will the sirens sound throughout town, but EMA and fire department personnel will drive emergency vehicles on every street to warn residents as well.
Repairs will be made soon and Chief Dizney apologized for any confusion or inconvenience today's incident may have caused.
