Bell and light system proposed to curb false fire alarms
At Bangor Central Fire Station a plan suggests placing a gong or bell above each fire alarm box to signal when a box is pulled, drawing attention to the person, plus a nearby electric light to aid identification. The aim is to deter false alarms as costly and risky. Bells could be installed with little cost, and alarms outside lighted ranges could be relocated.
