I lived near a volunteer station in a New Jersey town where it is routine to use a siren (same as used for tornadoes in other parts of the country) to alert the volunteers to check in. It went off frequently every day.

Most fire department dispatches are for medical events (i.e., they're also doing paramedic work). On average, fire departments get about the same false-alarm fire dispatches and real-alarm dispatches.
