Description	The City of Nashville Fire Department video, entitled "Think, A False Alarm May Cost a Life", was produced circa 1955. The Fire Department created this video to educate the public about what occurs when a fire alarm is pulled. The film begins with a young woman pulling the fire alarm on one of the alarm boxes that used to stand on street corners throughout the city. The signal would travel to the Fire Alarm Station at 312 25th Avenue North where a specialized machine would indicate which alarm had been pulled. Last, the Station would dispatch the alarm to those Fire Halls closest to the alarm box. In the mock scenario on the video, the dispatch goes to Engine Company No. 17 at 3430 West End Avenue. 1 video, no audio; b & w; 16 mm.
