Qualicum Beach Fire Department will begin regular, scheduled testing of the Firehall Call-Out Notification Siren, with the first test taking place on Thursday August 6, at approximately 7:00 pm.
The siren is used as a backup system in the event that the fire department’s primary communication system fails. It is intended to notify firefighters only, and no action is required by the public.
What to Expect
Residents can expect to hear a continuous alert that rises in pitch as it winds up. The test will last less than 10 seconds and is likely to be audible throughout most of the municipality.
What to Do When you Hear the Siren
No action is required by the public. This siren is for firefighters’ response only.
Schedule of Tests
The siren will be tested on the first Thursday of each month at approximately 7:00pm, until further notice.
Sign up for Alert Notifications
Scheduled siren tests and emergency notifications will also be communicated through Voyent Alert. Register for alerts at the Town's Voyent Alert webpage.
