ALBION – The Albion Fire Department has been testing the fire whistle on top of the Village Office this afternoon. It is expected to go off again at about 3:30 this afternoon after being activated earlier in the day, said Fire Chief Jeremy Graham.

The fire whistle has been inactive for more than a decade after some of the downtown business owners complained the siren was too loud.

The Fire Department would like to make operational again to use only for big emergencies, such as structure fires and other community emergencies, Graham said.
