North Richland Hills replacing, relocating some outdoor warning sirens
This week, the city will install new sirens at Linda Spurlock Park and the Richland High School softball field. Crews will remove two older sirens nearby.NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas — Crews will relocate two outdoor sirens in North Richland Hills this week, part of a long-term replacement plan meant to extend a warning's reach.
"Sometimes, the population shifts or cities don't grow the way they thought they might grow, so we have to re-plan for that," OmniWarn vice president Ryan Dean said, speaking generally. The Onyx Drive and Circle Drive horns were also positioned just a few feet from nearby houses, almost in their yards. One homeowner told WFAA she's grateful the alarms' monthly test tones will soon emanate from further away, though she acknowledged the system is"necessary."
