Reply to comment by a_waltz_for_debby in Did anyone just hear loud, almost air-raid sounding sirens going off in the Dormont area? by sharklepower

Is this a Pittsburgh thing? My GF recently moved up from Virginia and asked me about the "Silent Hill sirens".

I don’t think it’s unique to Pittsburgh. I lived in Northeastern PA for some time and we had them there.

In some ways, it is yes. Because we have so many small municipalities - Townships and Burroughs, and they all have to provide police and fire. There’s a lot of them who still have volunteer fire departments because they are too stubborn to merge or form a county wide system.
