Last night we spent a [fair amount of time on Twitter](https://twitter.com/BerkeleyScanner?ref=berkeleyscanner.com) responding to readers who had questions about a loud alarm coming from Bayer.

As it turned out, it was a boiler alarm and posed no risk to anyone off-site, Bayer said.

"The single note alarm horn is Bayer's boiler alarm. I heard it sounding within the last 15-20 minutes," Berkeley Disaster & Fire Safety Commissioner Weldon Bradstreet wrote last night. 

We shared a number of tweets about it last night, including Bayer's [PDF guide to its various warning sirens](https://www.bayer.com/sites/default/files/20210819.siren%20facts.pdf?ref=berkeleyscanner.com).

At The Berkeley Scanner (TBS) do our best to answer community questions in a timely manner, so be sure to check our Twitter feed after hours when there are pressing questions like this.

We also attended a public safety town hall on Zoom last night organized by Councilwoman Susan Wengraf. 

We didn't write a story, but we did post a [long Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/BerkeleyScanner/status/1640898422537584640?ref=berkeleyscanner.com) sharing most of the meeting highlights.
