For many years the City of Peekskill had Gamewell Fire Alarm Boxes including
Gamewell Tape Registers and Gong Bells in every Firehouse that would tap out the
rounds when a box when pulled.
We also had Gamewell Diaphone Horns. One was on top of the NYS Armory on Washington St.
and the other on top of the Peekskill Fire Patrol on Highland Ave.
The system was taken out of service in the mid 1990's.
I have a large collection of Gamewell Fire Alarm Boxes, a Bell and a Tape Register.
Some of my boxes date back to the late 1880's (Yes, I said 1880's) I have a lot of
newer ones too 1980's and 1990's.
Any fans on here of Gamewell Fire Alarm Boxes?
Please "Like" or Join my Facebook groups. A lot of photos and information.

Every Interior Firefighter should complete FAST training. Even if you are not on the team at least
learn and practice the skills.
When you go to the FTC for a burn how many departments practice the rescue of a Firefighter down?
As mentioned what happens when you hear that MAY-DAY! and the FAST from the other town is
not even out the door yet?
All departments should cross train. It can only make our skills better and give us a chance to work together.
GREAT TOPIC REMEMBER 585!

I could set up a tour of the FDNY Shops for EMTBravo sometime soon.
Most likely a Sunday morning. Anyone interested?

Until last year the Civil Defense logo was on the patch of the
City of Peekskill Auxiliary Police. They now have a new patch/design.
