As a reminder, the City of Kettering tests its outdoor warning sirens on the first Monday of every month at noon. This routine test ensures our sirens are functioning properly and ready to alert residents in the event of a real emergency. Please note that if inclement weather is present in the area at the time of the scheduled test, the test will be postponed. We encourage all residents to use these monthly reminders as an opportunity to review your severe weather preparedness plan so that you and your family know exactly what to do when it matters most.

Today, the Kettering Fire Department honors and remembers the heroes and lives lost on September 11, 2001. We will never forget their sacrifice. A massive thank you to the Kettering Police Department for organizing this year's Memorial Stair Climb, and to Kettering City Schools for hosting us. We are incredibly proud of the Fairmont Fire Science students who showed up in full force. Seeing these future firefighters complete the climb in full fire gear was truly inspiring. Thank you for honoring the tradition of service and remembrance.
