Growl Test for Sirens
What is a growl test? Is the siren broken?
A "growl" test is performed 2nd, 4th, 5th Wednesdays throughout the summer months (April - September). A growl test momentarily starts the siren, and quickly shuts down. It might seem like the siren is broken, but it's just a growl test.
Siren system test is every Wednesday morning at 10 am. Testing the system allows us to make sure sirens will work when needed.
Summer test schedule: Full 3 minute test first & third Wednesday mornings (April - September) at 10 am.
From April through September, a full 3 minute siren test will be heard the first & third Wednesday mornings, weather permitting. This is a routine test to ensure the sirens operate when needed. On the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Wednesdays, a quick "growl" test happens.
