The ringing of the bell within the signal stations, denotes the number of the station that gives the alarm, thus :- one tap, a pause, and three taps, another pause, and five taps-1-3-5-indicates that the alarm came from Box No. 135.
The State House and Fire Alarm Bells in the several Districts will strike the number of the fire districts twice, and the direction four times; each bell striking the direction from itself. Should the fire be in the vicinity of the State House, the bells in the boxes will ring incessantly.
In cases of general alarm, requiring the service of the entire department, the bells will be rung inces- santly in quick succession, after having first signified the district in which the fire is raging.
