The siren with in Waymart Borough will be activated for several reasons:
Emergent Responses, Severe Weather, Tornado Warnings.
The difference between severe weather and a dispatch alert will be in the way the siren goes off.
1. Severe weather alert will blare one time with a constant blast for 45 seconds
2. The dispatch alert for the Waymart Fire Fighters will blast 3 times in a row and
will repeat if necessary.
3. The siren will blare every time the trucks have to respond emergent to a call. It
is very important to let the residents of Waymart know. After the siren sounds,
they should remain alert and to stay off the roads if possible. The fire trucks
will be responding shortly after.
In the event of special circumstances, the siren can be manually set off for however long the operator wishes to hold the button.
