Fire Alarm Early History - Volunteer Fire Department
The Fire Alarm System in Paterson dates back to the Volunteer days. In 1821 the Board of Fire Wardens employed two watchmen to patrol the streets at night and search for fires. Once a fire was discovered the rest of the firemen were summoned by large noisemakers called rattles. Loud clacking sounds were made when the men twirled the rattle in their hands. The first improvement in this system was the muffin bell. These were composed of two brass saucer shaped halves with a clapper between them attached to a turned wooden handle. By swinging the handle and bell back and forth, the watchmen could create loud clanging sounds. As the town enlarged, persons living far from the center of town had trouble hearing rattles and muffin bells.

In 1831, Church Bells were called upon to summon firemen. The first one used was St. Paul's Episcopal Church located at Market and Washington Streets (at the site of the City Hall). Over the next 50 years tower bells were located at:
- Second reformed church at the corner of Water and Temple streets
- First Baptist church at the corner of Van Houten and Washington streets
- First Presbyterian church at the corner of Ward and Main streets
- No. 6 public school at the corner Summer and Ellison streets
- No. 8 engine house, corner Wayne avenue and Liberty street.

1880 Annual Report mentioned that he fire department telegraph, under the management of the superintendent, was in good condition and had generally done its work satisfactorily. But event with the utmost care on the part of the superintendent, failures would occur, which might be attributed to the wires of the department being in collision with other boxes. New signal boxes were from time to time added in localities needing them, as frequency of alarm stations enhanced the chances for early alarms.

The Evolving Alarm Systems
In the early days of the paid department, there were 8 Engine companies, one chemical company and 3 Truck Companies. By the time a third alarm was sounded almost all of the companies were involved. As the department expanded to 12 Engine Companies by 1912 and 13 by 1928, 4th and as they were called "General Alarms" (technically a 5th) became possible. If a chief commanding at a 4th alarm fire needed more help he would request a general alarm be sounded. Currently, the term General Alarm is never used except perhaps descriptively "after the fire."
In 1962 Engine Company 4 was disbanded and by the 1970s and 1980s the number of companies started to further reduce. Between 1928 and 1962 a 1st alarm sent 3 engine and 1 Ladder ompany: on a second alarm 2 more engines and another Ladder - on 3rd and 4th alarm 2 more engine companies each time - On the General or 5th alarm - all remaining companies (4 engines and 1 Ladder Company) responded (after 1962 it was 3 engines and 1 ladder). There was no such thing as a 6th or higher alarm.
Technically, a 3rd alarm now depletes all Paterson Companies; and mutual aid companies start to cover vacated firehouses. If the fire is still "doubtful" at the time, the Chief may establish a staging area & have the next Engine Co(s) & Ladder Company report to the designated staging area. When that happens a 4th Alarm is transmitted. If the staged companies are eventually sent to the fire scene, a 5th Alarm will be transmitted & the 5th alarm companies will be sent to staging to replace the 4th alarm companies. However unlike earlier days, no on scene Chief gets on the radio and requests a "General Alarm."
The problem with the alarms terminology is that some departments do not consider it a 4-alarm fire if the 4th alarm companies are assigned to the staging area. They only "count" the alarm if they were assigned to the fire scene. So is no uniform way of counting the # of alarms, and every department counts it differently. The other problem is the staging area is used depending on the status of the fire. It could be the same 3-alarm fire, but if it does not appear to be "darkening-down", they may stage the 4th alarm companies. If the fire scene is not darkening they will not transmit a 4th alarm & stage any companies.
The general alarm may be a term used for reports and for press releases, but as noted it is not used when requesting additional companies. Thus current understanding of the term General Alarm is when all Paterson Companies are depleted and mutual aid companies are deployed to the fire regardless of whether it technically was a 4th, 5th, 6th or higher alarm fire. The phrase or term general alarm may used for reports and for press releases, but it is not used when requesting additional companies. Thus current understanding of the term General Alarm is when all Paterson Companies are depleted and mutual aid companies are deployed to the fire.
But what about the old days when alarms were still transmitted by bells?
When a street box was pulled by a citizen, 4 "rounds" would sound through out the department. For example Box 195 if pulled would make the gongs sound "1-9-5" 4 times - In each round the bells would chime once - slight pause - then chime 9 times - slight pause then chime 5 times. That sequence would occur 4 times in succession. If a citizen called in the fire in that area by phone Fire Alarm would dispatch the first due company and then transmit "1-9-5" only two times.
What happened if a second alarm was needed:
2nd alarm - bell would chime 2-2 then the station # twice
3rd alarm - bell would chime 3-3 then the station # twice
4th alarm - bell would chime 4-4 then the station # twice
General - and they did not occur very often in the old days - the bell wound ring ten times before the station was sounded twice
In the era before radios (1950s) extra alarms were called for by the commanding chief on scene or his aide (when they still had them). Technically for a serious conflagration a first due captain could request an extra alarm but it almost never happened. Prior to radios the commanding chief went to the local fire box itself and using a telegraph key built into all boxes would manually transmit 2-2 or 3-3 or 4-4 or ten clicks and then pull the box
In 1962 Engine Company 4 was disbanded and by the 1970s and 1980s the number of companies started to further reduce. Between 1928 and 1962 a 1st alarm sent 3 engine and 1 Ladder ompany: on a second alarm 2 more engines and another Ladder - on 3rd and 4th alarm 2 more engine companies each time - On the General or 5th alarm - all remaining companies (4 engines and 1 Ladder Company) responded (after 1962 it was 3 engines and 1 ladder).

At the end of the century alarm boxes were made that could be opened without keys. Once the signal reached the Fire Alarm Office located at the (originally at 10 Hotel Street firehouse) an operator would transmit it to the firehouses or bells located in the Chiefs homes. By counting the number of times the bell was struck or sounded the firemen knew where to respond
Within firehouses were gongs, many encased within oak cases, to sound the alarm. Legend has it that fire horses actually memorized the more common "boxes" (signals) and knew where to go without being directed. There were mechanisms ("jokers") in the firehouses which automatically opened the stable doors when an alarm sounded allowing the horses to run to the front of the apparatus immediately.

Four rounds are transmitted for a street box or a city box within a building. If a still alarm requires a full box assignment, two rounds are tapped out and the first due company is notified by phone. Second, third and 4th alarm signals are 2-2, 3-3, 4-4 followed by the box number. A general alarm is ten consecutive taps followed by the box number. The time signal at 8:00 AM, 12:15 PM and 6:00 PM is four consecutive taps.
A first alarm response was 3 engine companies, a truck company and a Battalion Chief with the exception of several Master Boxes (hospitals, schools, etc) to which 4 engine companies and 2 trucks responded. A second alarm response is two engines and one truck, a third and fourth alarm two engines each and a fifth (general alarm) is 4 engines and one truck. Notice in the 1952 alarm book below that company response is listed in numerical order whereas in the 1961 version, companies are listed as first, second and third due.

January 16, 1967:
Below was a Gamewell box (from St Joseph's Hospital). It served as a Master Box (8112 is the block on which the hospital is located in Paterson) - Also shown is the key that would open the door - When FF arrived at scenes where boxes were pulled, the box would have to be opened and then the coil rewound again (using a hand knob/spring mechanism). Prior to 1977 when bells were still operative in Paterson firehouses, although 8112 signal would be received in FAO, station 263 would be sounded on FH gongs. Once voice alarms went in effect in 1977 SJH became station 50. A first alarm response was 4 engine and two truck companies

Below left is the Gamewell Stanchion that stood at the intersection of Main St and Broadway, beneath the Port Arthur restaurant. Unique were "street strikers" which consisted of a fire gong that sat on top of the stanchion (the actual one is at right). This alerted policemen directing traffic in downtown Paterson to know that apparatus would be coming by. The entire stanchion shown below is at the NJ Firemen's Museum in Boonton, NJ.

August 4, 2020: - A citywide system used to alert residents in case of future emergencies will be tested today at 10:00 AM, according to an announcement by Mayor Andre Sayegh's office. Citizens were warned the siren test will be heard throughout the city and is not a cause for alarm, the alert read.
Note PFD had sirens on all firehouses thru the 1950s. The sirens were tested every Saturday at noon time. I remember old E-7 on Gould Ave. The firehouses built post 1960 never had them; Lakeview, Southside, Riverside or Hillcrest. When Harold Kane was still the chief, probably the late '70's or early '80's the City wanted the FD to remove the sirens from all the old FD buildings. PFD didn't have the proper equipment to dismantle the sirens & their bases and remove them from the roofs and PFD did not install them there in the first place. The city people who would be responsible in removing the sirens didn't want anything to do with them. In the end they were removed but PFD didn't do the job.
