    Galway County Council have a Major Emergency Plan which deals with all of this. Galway City Council ALSO have a separate one. The siren you hear is a fog horn. Galway Fire Station do not test any such sirens as they have an internal alert system to alert them to incidents. There is no external 'horn' sounding device in the Fire Station anymore, only bells which wouldn't be heard outside of the station grounds.

    Take it from one who knows that Galway Fire Station have a siren on the tower at the station, the fire men are paged now but the siren would be used as back up in the event of a problem with their other systems, they normally used to test the siren on a Monday to make sure it works, there is also a siren in the fuel tank farms at the docks which is tested. There is NO fog siren in Galway.
