Tornado sirens sound in Fairfield County; no severe weather threat

The Fairfield County Emergency Management Agency is working to figure out why tornado sirens are sounding throughout the county.

Fairfield County residents got an early morning wake up call Sunday when tornado sirens across the county started firing off warning sounds.

It started around 8:30 and is unclear how long it lasted.

The Fairfield County Emergency Management Agency posted this statement on their Facebook Page:

Fairfield County officials say a human error led to the sirens going off.

This is not the first time a central Ohio community had issues with siren activation.

In February, hundreds of Newark residents were awakened by tornado sirens with no severe weather threat, causing a number of tornado sirens to be repaired.
