The Department will resume the striking of boxes and the use of running cards effective 0800 Tuesday August 26th! General Order issued this afternoon.

Striking of boxes?
Is this the old telegraph type dispatch with bells, like the Gamewell?

That's exactly what it is. It's a Gamewell system

Glad to hear that. I missed it! The whole "a first alarm assignment has been dispatched" announcements sucked...

Oh, that is neat then. I used to work on a small Navy base with a Gamewell system, I didn't know there were any large departments still operating with one.

Trivia note: The first box struck once the system resumed was Box 2537 (South Street @ Arborway) at 2110hrs for 206 South Street in Jamaica Plain. Small fire in an exterior wall, Floor 3 of a 3 story woodfrme OMD on the Delta side.
