Lexington Emergency Management to test outdoor warning sirens Wednesday

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Those in Lexington on Wednesday, Dec. 8 should be aware of an upcoming outdoor warning siren test.

Lexington Emergency Management will conduct the test of its network of sirens at 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Residents near a park or golf course can expect to hear the siren sound a series of chimes followed by a voice announcement stating, “This is a test.”

Testing was postponed last week due to inclement weather. There is no emergency and the operations are for testing purposes only. The public is asked to not call 911 about the siren test.

The outdoor siren system is designed to alert those who are outdoors, not people inside homes, apartments or office buildings.
