JONESVILLE, Ky. (WKRC) - A siren didn't go off during Tuesday's tornados in Northern Kentucky.
The siren is for warnings in Jonesboro, which is on the border of Owen and Grant counties. It was initially designed to call volunteer firefighters to the firehouse in case of a fire, and was being used for weather alerts as a backup.
The Owen County Emergency Management Director Tim Cammack said the siren has been broken for two years. Cammack said it will cost $30,000 to replace. It can't be repaired.
Owen County has been trying to find the funds but there is no grant money available replace it. The county needs to foot the bill, and Grant County has offered to pay half.
It's one of two that need to be replaced, according to Cammack.
