National Alert Ready System and Wildfire Evacuation Siren Test
2025-11-19 13:55 - 13:58
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
National Alert Ready System and Predator Ridge Wildfire Evacuation Full Siren Test on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 at 1:55 PM

Dear Neighbours, Please be advised that a National Alert Ready Test is scheduled for Wednesday November 19, 2025 at 1:55 pm. The Alert Ready system is tested twice a year, once in May and again in November. In addition to television and radio, Alert Ready sends emergency alerts to cell phones and wireless devices that are compatible with Wireless Public Alerting (WPA). To coincide with the Alert Ready test, the City of Vernon Fire Department will be testing the Predator Ridge Wildfire Evacuation Siren.

This Wildfire Evacuation Siren test will be a full-volume audible test of the siren for a total of 3 minutes. The siren will cycle through high and low pitches repetitively for 8 cycles; a total duration of 3 minutes. During the testing, our high power, rotating, unidirectional warning siren sound will fade in out of neighbourhoods as it makes rotations. Please keep in mind that this siren test is only 3 minutes in length. In the event the siren is activated during a wildfire emergency, the siren will sound in continuous 15 minute intervals until it is paused or stopped by authorities.

This is only a test of the siren and Alert Ready, no action is required on your part. For more information on Alert Ready, click here, or visit the Government of BC’s website here. Thank you for supporting your Predator Ridge Community Safety program.

Sincerely, Predator Ridge Community Safety (PRCS)
