Many Montgomery residents were awoken in the early morning hours on Wednesday because of a malfunctioning weather siren.
WSFA 12 News reached out to Montgomery County EMA Director Christina Thornton after multiple reports of a siren going off between the hours of 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. in north Montgomery. Thornton stated that one siren had malfunctioned, and they had sent crews out immediately to address the issue.
Thornton says that the EMA Radio Shop Team is at the Highland Gardens siren site and running system maintenance to see what caused the siren to alert on its own. Thornton went on to say that there are many possibilities since this was a solo siren event, such as malfunctioning batteries, a bird’s nest, or a power surge of some sort.
