Public Notice: New Outdoor Warning Sirens – Installation & Testing
Installation of three new outdoor warning/storm sirens will take place on November 19–20, 2025.
Crews will begin in Strong City and work their way south!
Locations:
• Cottonwood Falls Fire Station
• Matfield Green Fire Station
• Strong City Rodeo Grounds (along Highway 50)
As part of the installation process, brief siren activations will occur during these two days. This is normal testing, and there is no cause for alarm.
