Emergency sirens are used to alert the citizens of Douglas and Glenrock of emergencies. Between the hours of 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. the sirens will be sounded for any emergency requiring the Douglas / Glenrock Volunteer Fire Department(s) to respond. These emergencies include traffic crashes, structure fires, and wild-land fires, to mention a few.
Whenever the Civil Defense Outdoor Warning sirens are activated and sound a steady 3 minute blast, you should tune to the cable television system or to KKTY a.m. radio (1470) for up-to-date emergency information.

Department will interrupt cable television programming to inform you of
any emergency situation.
