ANDOVER FIRE DEPARTMENT, Cont. will respond and use their highly sensitive instruments to help determine the problem, and advise you of a safe way to correct the situation. Emergency Preparedness/Siren Warning System The Andover Fire Chief is responsible for the Emergency Management Program in our community. This program is designed to alert residents to any natural or man-made disaster that might occur. If you have questions regarding the Outdoor Siren Warning System, call 763-755-8700 . Outdoor siren warning devices have been installed throughout Andover to warn of impending dangers. Our warning sirens are connected to the Metro Warning System, which allows the sirens to be set off by either the State of Minnesota warning point or the Anoka County warning point in Anoka. The sirens are operated by a radio tone device that allows flexibility in setting them off for certain regions of the county, certain municipalities within the county, or even a specific siren within any municipality. The sirens are tested on the first Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m. by sounding a one minute alert warning, and another full minute of the attack warning signal. Audible testing will cease from December through February due to possible damage to sirens during testing. Alert or Attention Signal This is a five-minute steady tone. This will be used to alert residents of any impending or actual natural disaster, such as a tornado or a hazardous waste spill. Attack Warning Signal This is a five-minute wavering tone. The purpose of this signal is to warn that a nuclear attack against the country is underway, and that lifesaving action should be taken immediately. Siren warning system devices are located at the following locations: 176 & Ward Lake Dr. NW 174 th & Co. Road 9 NW 16860 Roanoke NW (Cty. Road 7) 158 th & Dakota Street NW 2748-161 st Avenue NW (Cty.
