Resident says new fire siren is hard to hear, raising concern about alert clarity
Summary
During public comment, Meredith Lindstrom told the Loomis board she could not hear the new fire siren clearly and could not distinguish whether alerts were for tornadoes or fire calls, and asked the board to review the warning system.
During public comment at the July 9 meeting, Meredith Lindstrom told the Village Board she was unable to hear the new fire siren clearly and could not tell whether alerts indicated a tornado warning or a fire call. Lindstrom’s remark was the meeting’s recorded public-comment request regarding emergency notification audibility.
The board did not record a formal response in the minutes. Chairman Keith Fagot welcomed Lindstrom earlier in the meeting; the minutes indicate the board may follow up as part of general public-safety or clerk reporting duties but contain no recorded directive or timeline to test or adjust the siren system.
