Flood Call 97
Caller asked why the sirens were going off in the north end. The dispatcher said this was because of a flash flood warning for the Lincoln Park area, and the caller wondered why this would affect the north end. She put Bob on the line, who told the caller that he was told to turn on the sirens through a press release.
