    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by
    3.
    C. Marlin):
    On August
    30, Clyde Dace filed a formal complaint against D.
    Kohlhase,
    Fire
    Chief,
    and
    the
    Fox
    River
    Grove
    Fire Protection
    District (District).
    The complaint alleges violations of the noise
    nuisance provisions of Section
    23 of the Act and Section 900.102
    of the Board’s noise rules arising from
    the District’s use of
    a
    siren to summon paid—on—call volunteer firemen and paramedics.
    On
    September 16, 1991, respondents filed a motion to dismiss asserting
    that Section 901.107 of the Board’s rules provides an exemption for
    emergency warning devices.
    In a September 30,
    1991 response, Mr.
    Dace noted that the cited
    exemption did not apply
    to
    the
    noise
    nuisance provisions which he cited in his complaint.
    The motion to dismiss
    is
    denied.
    The case
    is accepted for
    hearing.
    A Hearing Officer will be assigned to the case, who will
    contact the parties to schedule a hearing.
    The Board additionally
    notes the filing of two letters on September 24,
    1991 concerning
    the complaint.
    As is the usual practice, the Hearing Officer will
    notify
    these
    interested
    persons
    of
    the
    time
    and place
    of
    any
    scheduled hearing.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
