(AP) — Officials in Fremont say they’re getting plenty of feedback about warning sirens.
Mayor Scott Getzschman noted at a Tuesday City Council meeting that he’s spoken with people who didn’t hear the sirens as usual and others who heard them for the first time.
Getzschman says the sirens worked when they were sounded early Monday. They also sounded Wednesday night when the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Fremont County.
Emergency Manager Bill Pook says the issue Monday likely was the high wind, which could muffle the sound in one direction and carry it for a long distance in another direction.
Pook says people with concerns should listen for the siren on testing days. Fremont’s next one is set for 11 a.m. Wednesday.
