DON'T USE TELEPHONE
IN CASE OF FIRE ALARM
John J. Bower, Bellefonte fire
marshall, makes a special plea 2
the people of Bellefonte to refrain
from using the telephone when a fire
alarm is sounded; except, of course,
those who are firemen. This request
has been made before, and tempora-
ry relief has been felt, but lately
the practice has been growing to
alarming proportions,
alarm is sounded hundreds of people
rush to the telephone in an attempt
to find out the location of the fire.
The very purpose of the fire protec-
tion is thus defeated because the
operators, no matter how adept,
face an impossible task and those
who want to and can save your
property are lost in the confusion.
A special code has been devised
in the past and supposedly given to
only active firemen, but through
special privilege leaks of some sort
one-fourth of the population of the
town are in possession of it, and
again the purpose of the plan is de-
feated.
Bellefonte has not yet been finan-
cially able to install a complete code
calling directional fire alarm system
and consequently must rely on the
present system of reporting fires to
the telephone operators, who in turn
report to the active firemen. The
success of the whole plan, which
means the protection of your prop-
erty and life, is in your own hands
end, accordingly so, unless you are
an active fireman you should coope:-
ate by not adding a curiosity call
to the many urgent necessity calls.
A number of people, of course,
have property interests and are en-
titled to know whether the fire is at
their place of business. In the past
the operators have always notified
the interested parties and, no doubt,
will continue to do so, although the
service is distinctly one of courtesy
and no responsibility is attached to
the practice.
