After three weeks of scheduling conflicts that led to postponements, the Saline County Emergency Management Agency is set to conduct their siren test for June this Wednesday, June 25.
New EMA director Brad Hinz tells KMMO News that the siren test will take place between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. for all areas of Saline County excluding the City of Marshall. The test is weather permitting and will involve the sirens in Arrow Rock, Blackburn, Gilliam, Grand Pass, Malta Bend, Miami, Nelson, Slater and Sweet Springs.
Hinz was appointed last month to succeed Tony Day as the county’s emergency management director. Day’s retirement will take effect June 30, after six years in the role.
