FIRE STATION LOCATIONS
Page remains under construction for post 1976 Stations
|
When a street box was pulled by a citizen, 4 "rounds" would sound through out the department firehouses. For example Box 451, if pulled would make the gongs sound "4-5-1" 4 times (repeats called "rounds") - In each round the bells would chime once - slight pause - then 4 times - slight pause then 5 times then slight pause
|
and 1 time. That sequence would occur 4 times in succession. If a citizen called via phone for a fire in that area (Box 451 was Main Street and Broadway) Fire Alarm would dispatch the first due company and then transmit "451" only two rounds.
|
All boxes except those marked private required a citizens key to open: Note newspaper clip at right
