The City of Burlington will join other Racine County jurisdictions and test their outdoor warning sirens once a month. Prior to this year, the Burlington police and fire departments alternately tested the sirens on a weekly basis at noon to ensure proper operation from their respective dispatch centers. As dispatch services are now provided by the Racine County Communications Center, the City of Burlington will join the other jurisdictions in Racine County and test the sirens monthly.
Starting Saturday, October 6, 2018, the outdoor warning sirens will be tested the first Saturday of each month at 4pm.
