  • Public Safety

If you live in Hatboro and hear gunfire, sirens, and explosions, don't be alarmed.

It's all part of "realistic military training" that will take place from now until Sunday, April 6 at the Biddle Air Guard Station, 39 Easton Road, Hatboro.

During this period, the base will conduct ground mobility exercises involving an increased presence of military personnel, equipment, and activity. 

According to the announcement, the U.S. military has "meticulously planned the exercises to minimize community impact." Residents in the surrounding areas may experience louder-than-usual noises, including gunfire, sirens, and simulated explosions, some of which could extend into the evening hours.
