The Town of Warrenton is currently exploring plans to restore the historic siren to pay homage to the Plummer Hook & Ladder Fire Company. Local leaders hope that restoring the artifact will preserve the memory of the trailblazing volunteers who protected the town.

The town is currently seeking donations to fund the restoration, with an estimated repair cost of $6,468. Once the funds are raised and the restoration is complete, the town plans to install a plaque displaying the restoration date and a list of donors who contributed $100 or more.

To donate, go to the Town's website here.
