Historically, bell towers kept watch over the community and were rung to send an alarm about a fire. In many towns and cities, bell towers were built on the roof of the fire station so it could be rung easily. In the 1800’s, a new fire alarm system was developed that used telegraph equipment to send a message in Morse code. Bell towers were connected by telegraph wires that allowed a message to be sent from one bell tower to the next alerting the city of a fire. Fire telegraphic alarms represent an early attempt to automate and improve the communication process. Today, BellTower Technologies is standing watch with state-of-the-art technology to enable communities and businesses to respond immediately with emergency notification communication services.
