We were just notified the outdoor warning sirens have sounded spontaneously again.
Please be assured we have a tech on site working to rectify the issues we’re experiencing.
There is no weather emergency at this time.

Was it only in one area? I'm downtown and didn't hear anything.

Texting while driving is so dangerous, drivers are 6x more likely to crash than a drunk driver. The Dickinson PD will have extra patrols through September 30 in order to save lives and remove distracted drivers from the road.

Awesome 👏🏻
Everytime I pull up to a stop light, I look over at the cars beside me and they are texting away and it continues even after the light turns green. It isn't just teenagers texting either, I see man adults doing it. On Wednesday, just from the stop light by Applebees to the stop light by Dickinson Tire, I saw at least 6 drivers texting and driving. I hope you pull over every single person texting and driving during this promotion. I don't feel like being in an accident because someone decided to text and drive.
Excellent!
Awesome!
How about when they have their dog on their lap?
Our area firefighters, both local and rural, have been undoubtedly busy these past few weeks. Until we get some good moisture, Stark County and the City of Dickinson are under a burn ban. This includes the use of fire pits and charcoal grills until further notice.
Please see the fire department's FB post and get Fire Smart!
🙏🙏🙏🙏 for rain and our fire fighters
We've been notified that there was an inadvertent sounding of the sirens this afternoon.
Please be assured there is no weather emergency at this time.
For god sakes keep Gary away from the buttons
I’m hopefully that the inadvertent activations get corrected prior to storm season so people don’t “tune it out” and write it off as just another false warning.
I didn't hear it.
Sirens? I thought it was the FD again
Thank you for the update
I mentioned it at work, I was the only one hearing it. Glad to know I wasn’t making it up. 😆
