This is ONLY a Test: Sirens to Sound on Friday

Don't call police, as it won't be a February tornado that sets off the emergency sirens in Brookfield on Friday at noon.

While there will be a few people who won't read this in the city of Brookfield, we are hoping to save the police department a few phone calls by issuing the following notice:

The City of Brookfield is planning a test of its upgraded emergency warning
siren system on Friday, Feb. 8 at 12 noon, weather conditions permitting.

The upgraded siren system includes the change in radio frequency used to
communicate between siren locations as mandated by the Federal
Communications Commission, along with a new siren near the intersection of
Brookfield Road and Capitol Drive that improves the warning coverage area
in the northwest side of the City.
