New Perry weather warning sirens to be shipped any day
By STACIE M.VU
Tlmes-lourru. Staff
The Perry Fire Department
should be getting word any day that
the new siren system for Perry will be
shipped. The Peny Fur Deportment
received a grant for die purchase of
the Emergency Siren System.
Although the system was due in
Perry this week, it has not been
shipped yet.
The siren system costs
J 33,846.25, not not including die
poles which the siren system will
operate from. The company, Whelen
Engineering Co., Inc., suggests that
the sirens be erected at least 42 feet
from the ground for effectiveness.
The siren system will be able to
reach an approximate radius of one
mile, depending on the time of day or
night, the weather and die buildings
surrounding it.
The four proposed sites for die
system arc Sam Nunn and Hampton
Court, Tucker Road and Moreland
Avenue, Country Club Road, and
Kell wood Drive.
The siren system will be activated
by radio, operated by battery, and
tested about once a month. The sys
tem can be tested silendy at any time
by computer, according to Hamlin.
The computer will test the system
and feedback the results of die tests
to the Fire Department. The feed
back will include any problems that it
encounters during the testing.
The decision to purchase the
Vortex System came about at a Nov.
