sirens

If you’ve been hearing an emergency siren going off, there is NO emergency. The Emergency Alert Sirens for the City of Laramie is malfunctioning.

Don't be alarmed if your phone goes off around 12:18pm on Wednesday.

There were reports that two people received minor injuries.

Keep in mind, it's only a test -- there's no need to contact emergency officials or take cover.

The outdoor siren system -- including all county sirens in Laramie, Rock River, Centennial and Albany -- is tested at 10 a.m. on the first Friday of each month.

Again, the sirens you hear Friday are only a test.

The outdoor system is an all-hazards emergency system designed to warn local residents of any life-threatening situation in the area.

There's always a chance that the test will be canceled due to inclement weather, but the Friday forecast looks good.
