Sirens are activated when tornadoes or heavy wind and rainstorms threaten the Village. When the sirens sound, either a tornado has been sighted or indicated by radar, or dangerous thunderstorms are occurring in the area. When you hear the siren, go to a safe place in the house, usually the basement, and stay away from windows. Turn on a battery-powered radio or television and wait for the "all clear" announcement. Oak Park has three sirens. The sirens are tested at 10:30 a.m. on the first Tuesday of every month. For more information, call 445.3300 or email fire@oak-park.us.
