The wayside horns at Old Town railroad crossings are currently out of service. While repairs are underway, train engineers will sound their own horns, which may be louder than usual. Expect more noise near the tracks until the issue is resolved.

The monthly test of the outdoor warning sirens will be conducted today, December 6, at 11am.
We will be testing the sirens by zones today. This means from 11am to 1104 am, we will activate one zone every minute (currently 5 zones).
Let us know where you hear them!🌪

New @LenexaFire staff recently trained on Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) skills. RIT is often used to save a firefighter if they have an emergency themselves (injury, illness, building collapse, etc.) while on the job.
