I can stand on my front porch and see the Martin's and the railroad tracks... heck I can hear the trains on the tracks, and train whistles occasionally. But this air raid siren sounding thing goes off every day at least once, and sometimes 5 or 6 times. I KNOW it's not an actual air raid siren, or a tornado warning siren... but when I hear the thing go off, there is no sign of any smoke anywhere in the area that I can see (and I can see quite a bit of Cumberland proper, at least I could a couple weeks ago before the trees filled out). It's driving us nuts wondering why the damn thing goes off so often.
1) Can there really be THAT many fires in town on a daily basis, especially ones that don't seem to send up any smoke?
2) Why in gods name do they have what amounts to air raid sirens up here? I've lived all over the country, in small towns and major metro areas and everything in between, and I've NEVER heard a siren like that go off except once or twice a year during hurricane season to warn of the incoming storm.
