The Island's emergency public warning system was triggered this morning (Thurs).
The sirens at all 'Douglas zone' sites went went off shortly before 8.30am
However, Civil Defence was quick to point out that it was a false alarm that was triggered inadvertently by engineers carrying out standard servicing of the system.
