Thus the need for multi-use sirens, not just for alerting the volunteer firefighters. And a public educated in knowing the difference between when to take cover and when there's a fire or medical emergency call!
So tornadoes don't happen every day, or every year for that matter, in the state of New York, but they DO happen sometimes! And if the public isn't made aware of the danger that's impending because they're only aware of sirens used for the volunteer fire companies, well, there's a problem, and luckily no one was killed or injured from that tornado, at least of what I'm aware of. Hopefully the local television and radio stations alerted the folks up that way with ample warning.
