Gamewell Alarm Boxes

[FFMcDonald]

Just wondering if any departments out there still used Gamewell (or similar) alarm boxes.

I know there are a few cities out there that still maintain their old Gamewells as well as incorporating new technologies into the mix.

Borough of Emmaus in PA Still has active alarm boxes. It's really cool to be on duty and have the bells ring and the tape get punched.

The General Fire Call Box Discussion on the Youngstown Fire Message Board has an extensive listing of communities still operating street boxes in their alarm systems. There are hundreds of topics and post that cover many areas of fire alarm discussion.

There are dozens of photos of various styles and types of alarm equipment and information on how to wire an alarm box if you have one at home! Also shown are alarm box street scenes, fire alarm office photos, etc.

Stop in and have a look!
