Fire Brigade street fire alarm call post
A passer-by breaks the glass cover of a fire alarm with his elbow to notify the fire brigade of an incident. By the outbreak of the First World War the London Fire Brigade area was well covered with electric fire alarms. On breaking the glass cover, the brass handle was pulled and this would register at the fire station the precise location of the alarm. The instruction on the alarm says: Wait for Engine, so that the caller could then direct the crew into action
