Directions in Case of Fire. Get the key to the nearest box, open and pull the hook all the way down once, then let go and close the door. Remain at the station, if possible, after giving an alarm, to direct the firemen to the fire. Second alarms will be given only by one of the Engineers. Citizens are earnestly requested to keep themselves informed as to the location of the keys. Signs over each box will give the desired information. Caution to Persons Holding Station Keys. Never open or touch the apparatus except in case of fire. Never sound the alarm for a fire seen at a distance, unless assistance is called for. Be reasonably sure there is a fire before sounding the alarm. Never let the key go out of your possession, except to some responsible person to give an alarm of fire, and be sure the key is returned. If you remove from your house or place of residence, return the key to the Engineers at once. 79th Annual Town Report OF MILTON MASS.
