County, Berlin Working To Limit Fire Siren Hours; BFC Proposes No Whistle After 10 P.M.

BERLIN — Out of respect to residents and guests, the Berlin Fire Company (BFC), with the unanimous support of the Mayor and Council, would like to limit the hours that the fire siren in town would sound to between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.

The company is also still evaluating the location of its physical fire whistles downtown and could make a decision within the next few weeks to relocate the town hall alarm.

Last week, BFC Chief David Lewis wrote an email to Fred Webster, director of Emergency Services for Worcester County, asking if it would be possible for the county to accommodate the company’s plan to only sound the alarm during the day. Mayor Gee Williams read the email during Monday’s council meeting.

“’The chiefs of the Berlin Fire Company met earlier today and decided that we would like the fire siren to only blow between the hours of 0700 and 2200 every day,’” Lewis wrote.

    If your house catches on fire, I bet you'd want the alarm to go off.

    9:48, the alarm / call will go out just no siren. Do what Ocean City does and sound it when there is a real fire.
