6/14/14 - Another outdoor weather warning siren will be going up in the Pinckney area. This will be the sixth weather siren in the community, to be installed at the east end of the Village, right at the Putnam Township line. The Pinckney Village Council approved a request from the Putnam Township Fire Department that the siren be installed on their property near Buschâs and M-36, where the wellhead and pump station are located that supply municipal water service. Fire Chief Greg Amburgey says theyâre making good progress and try to budget for the purchase of at least one new siren every year, since they have an individual price tag of $20,400. He tells WHMI they try to put them in locations where they know a large number of people will be covered. He says the siren will provide coverage on the east side of town and itâs a good location near a big subdivision and busy area by the Lakeland Trail where a lot of people are outside, which is important as they are outdoor warning sirens. Amburgey says at the rate theyâre going along with Hamburg Township, the area will be covered very well and will help forewarn people of any potentially dangerous storms. (JM)
