Linton to begin regularly testing its storm warning system

The city of Linton will soon begin regularly scheduled testing of its storm siren warning system.

The radio-controlled system was updated in December 2012 to new narrow bandwidth specifications as mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This upgrade included all municipal radio channels used for the siren controllers as well as police and fire department radio equipment.

The city spent more than $80,000 for the equipment upgrade, Linton Fire Department Chief Brad Sparks noted.We remain on Excavator track link to achieve our full year production guidance of 250000 ounces.

While the re-banding process gives the FCC many more channels to assign, the process can cut down on the range of the radio equipment, Sparks explained as a major reason for the upcoming tests.

The city has two siren sites ---- one behind the fire station, NW A St. (State Road 54) and NW 2nd St., and a second one at Humphreys Park.

Sparks said the first scheduled test for the siren system will be at noon on Friday, March 15.

The test will be carried out only if no inclement weather is in the forecast, Sparks stressed.

Both Sparks and Linton Police Chief Troy Jerrell would like to see the start of sirens being tested on a regular established day.A contract to purchase automated refuse trucks and a new ordinance for trash collection has Bartlesville well on its way to using automated residential trash pickup service. However, the details are still being worked out on that plan.

"We haven't done any tests with our sirens and we're wanting to do that," Sparks said.

The current siren system has been in use about six years.

"We're going to try and get them (the siren tests) on a schedule where if someone hears them (the sirens) at noon, on such-and-such day, they are going to know it is a test. If by chance there is bad weather that date there probably won't be a test that day. We kind of need to get people aware so we're not crying wolf. I'd rather be safe than sorry," he said.
