These eight sirens are located at Bakersville, Conesville, Coshocton City, Coshocton City School Campus, Canal Lewisville, Pleasant Valley, West Lafayette and Walhonding Valley Fire Stations. These areas are heavier populated communities where more residents are able to hear the sirens. Each siren is capable of notifying the public of a possible tornado and / or fire.
