Within the past week, Erie County, PA implemented a new county-wide radio system. With all things new, and especially something so technologically advanced, there have been hiccups through the implementation. As a fire department, we continue to work through the growing pains. Yesterday, Erie County, PA did a quarterly storm siren test. We are aware that the test failed in the Borough of Edinboro, Washington Township, and additional municipalities in Erie County, PA. Please be aware that the storm siren operation and consequential troubleshooting at this point are at the county level thorough the Erie County Department of Public Safety. In the event of a true emergency, the Edinboro VFD has the capability to set off the Borough of Edinboro siren manually, and we will do so as quickly as possible. We will certainly pass along additional information about the status of the storm sirens as it becomes available to us.
