FD retires 154-year-old fire alarm box system after final call (firerescue1.com) — Manchester has officially retired its 154-year-old Gamewell fire alarm box network, ending the telegraph-based system that once guarded mills, storefronts, schools, and neighborhoods across the city. Fire officials describe the final signal from Box 4647 and explain the transition to a more reliable radio-based alarm system that will now handle building fire alerts citywide.
