Many Gainesville residents will now be within earshot of an outdoor warning siren if weather takes a turn for the worse.Three new sirens, used to warn people who are outdoors of impending dangerous situations including tornadoes, have been installed inside the city limits.“As you know, our area is prone to severe weather and prone to tornadoes,” said Gainesville Fire Chief Jon Canada. “We have a long history of tornadoes in Hall County and the city if Gainesville and this is just a great way to continue to try and take care of the folks that live here and give them the best chance of getting a head start.”Sirens were installed at Chattahoochee Golf Club, Lanier Point Softball Complex and City Fire Station No. 4 on Memorial Park Drive, areas known for outdoor use by residents.The project cost around $60,000 and $25,000 was paid through a matching grant from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency.The additions bring the total number of sirens in the county to 20.“It enhances what we currently have,” said David Kimbrell, Hall County fire chief and EMA director.
