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.
