I'm talking about a really big emergency where an ambulance would be called or something like that. I worded that wrong by saying ANY. Emergencies at the horse barn do happen and typically the radio that is at the horse barn is used to just contact the health officer and any staff that needs to be notified. Last year i was bucked off a horse and they just called the health officer, no siren. When i say ANY i most mean water and land emergencies where there is a missing person involved and we will be running all over the place and a head count needs to be taken. Sorry for any confusion.
For storms and fires we ring the bell more than 50 times (when we typically only ring it 8-10 times).
