Gamewell Alarm system

[Rheems1]

Here is a cool video where you can hear a Gamewell in house system striking a box and the horns in town honking it out. It is a really cool video, the horns heard in this video are Cooper-Clark Diaphram horns. This was filmed in Tamaqua, Pa and was recorded at the Citizens Fire Company. Click on the link for the Lafayette Street video.

Great video -- thanks for the link! That's what my home town Federal/Cunningham fire horns used to do, except we didn't have a bell or call boxes. First was the fire call of three shorts, one long, repeated. Then a minute or two later was a two-digit numerical code of short blasts. Three shorts was "all clear," because the city required all people using outside water to shut it off until they heard the all clear signal.

That's a pretty cool video! Love the sounds of the horns and the bell going off together.
