Outdoor Warning Siren System test Wednesday

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Lexington Emergency Management will test its network of outdoor warning sirens Wednesday, January 3, at 10:00 a.m.

If you live near a park or golf course, expect to hear the outdoor siren sound a series of chimes followed by a voice announcement “This is a test.”

This is a regularly scheduled test, there is no emergency.

Citizens are asked not to call 9-1-1 for information about the siren test.

The warning siren downtown is inactive due to maintenance issues.  There will be no test of the downtown emergency siren.

Recently installed sirens at Hisle Park on Briar Hill Road and at the Raven Run Nature Sanctuary will be included in the test.
