Remember Fireboxes?

FireboxIf you don’t, then you’re not as old as I am.

I hadn’t even thought about these for years until I saw this picture.  I can remember one that stood on the corner of Broadway and Baden Avenue in north St. Louis when I was a kid.  I know I never set one of them off, but I’m sure it happened.

I assume that's a good idea unless the alarm box is on the side of the burning building and it take 911 as long to respond as it does in my city sometimes.
