Synopsis
From DJ flap - The story of Fire Alarm Telegraphy is a nostalgic overview of what nearly every fire department depended upon for receiving and transmitting alarms. How fire alarms worked - and why they sometimes did not - is a facet of American history that has never before been definitively told. A Harvard medical student revolutionized the sounding of fire alarms with his invention of the first practical fire alarm box and telegraphy system in 1852. (Description by http-mart)
