LANGLADE COUNTY - Antigo could replace its old tornado sirens with a new 24-hour warning system.
Both the city and Langlade County have been looking for a replacement since the sirens were shut down at the beginning of 2015. Now, city and county leaders are deciding whether to go with a new technology or turn the sirens back on.
"Selfishly, if money was no object, it would be wonderful for us to have another tool in the tool shed, that being the outdoor weather sirens," says Langlade County Emergency Management Director Brad Henricks. "But the community needs to take a look at fiscal considerations. Is that money well spent? Or are there other options on the table for them to take a look at?"
