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
.
