Can You Operate Fire Alarm Box?

Five lives were lost in New York fire early
this week because the person who turned in the
alarm did not know how to operate the fire alarm
box The first man who turned in an alarm was
so excited that he did not pull the lever far
enough to sound the alarm. Ten minutes passed
before another alarm was turned in, and in the
meantime the fire gained such Roadway that five
persons were burned to death :
What is the condition in Richmond? How
many persons know where the nearest fire alarm
box to their residence is located? How many
could operate the lever?
The delay of few minutes in sending an
alarm may be sufficient to make your home a
prey to the fire demon If you must turn to a
fire alarm directory before you can speed to a
box the chances are that the blaze will have a
sufficient start to destroy your home or work
heavy damages.
