With the advent of signaling equipment capable of voice AND coded communication, Boxes became useful for summoning other services as well. The concept of Boxes strictly for reporting fires has become a thing of the past.
Today both telegraph/telephone "hardwire" as well as radio Boxes employ either voice contact or "pushbuttons" which provide for pre-determined responding agencies.
Many departments have found a re-newed life in their Box systems and the bonus of justified larger budgets, by encouraging non-fire emergency signalling. More Box pulls result in more runs, hence larger budgets are harder for city fathers to argue with!
The FIRE\EMERGENCY Sticker allows the citizen to realize the Box may be used for fire reporting or to obtain help in a genuine emergency.
A unique "eye-catching" diagonal stripe, originally designed for boxes of the "split door" design, provide the positive identification needed when moments count and lives or property may be on the line.
Measuring 11" tall and 4" wide, this Sticker is printed in red lettering on White reflective sheeting. This sticker is also available in other color combinations where required. It is a fully reflective sticker that provides the kind of 24 hour visibility modern emergency reporting requires!
