One of the questions we hear most in the Facebook group What’s Happening in Newington is, “What were all the sirens?” We built this Scanner Summaries page to help answer that question.
The page gives you a three-hour look back at Newington police, fire, and EMS calls for service identified by our system. When you hear sirens, you can check here to see what responders were called to do.
Our scanner feed is monitored around the clock by artificial intelligence. The AI listens and decides which calls to report. It can mishear a name or location, miss a call, or describe one incorrectly. We continually work to improve it. If you spot a mistake, please email scannerfeed@newingtonweather.com so we can review it.
This page also includes our free live scanner player. You can listen for yourself to hear what is happening in real time and get more detail than a short summary can provide.
Privacy mode removes exact street addresses and the names of people involved from AI summaries and the public AI transcripts. The live scanner audio may include those details because the radio transmissions are broadcast in the clear over the air.
AI summaries can be incomplete or wrong, and the live radio may contain unconfirmed information. We assume no responsibility for information reported by the AI or heard on the live scanner feed.
Bookmark this page so it is easy to check the next time you hear sirens. It is free, has no ads, and requires no special app. Please tell a friend about us, and thanks for being here!
