The Chaska Police Department released this statement pertaining to the emergency sirens that went off this morning:
"The outdoor warning sirens were activated in Chaska moments ago. This was a false alarm. The county is aware…
"The City of Chanhassen is in control of a remote device, which activates the sirens; indeed, the sirens were activated without a legitimate cause. Chanhassen wrongly activated the warning sirens for the cities of Chaska, Victoria, and Watertown. Perplexingly the sirens did not sound in Chanhassen.
"This is the second time such an error has occurred. It is important that the county and Chanhassen solve this problem. There is no approaching threat."
The alarm resulted in a flood of calls to the police department, Knight said.
