Unexpected Siren in Benbrook Likely a Malfunction.

BENBROOK, TX – If you were caught off guard by an emergency siren blaring north of I-20 along Highway 377 this afternoon, you weren’t alone.

Residents flooded local Facebook groups with questions, wondering why the alarm sounded on a Monday instead of the routine first-Wednesday-of-the-month test.

According to a community report, a resident contacted the Benbrook Police Department, who stated they “believe it’s a malfunction.” While there’s no official confirmation of what triggered the siren, it appears to have been an accidental activation—perhaps an unintended button press that startled more than a few afternoon nappers.

Consider this a friendly reminder: The city’s scheduled siren test is still set for the first Wednesday of the month, so don’t be alarmed when you hear it then.

Stay tuned for updates, and as always, stay safe, Benbrook!
