Lynn Fire Alarm Boxes

Lynn, the city I live in and grew up in used to have a Gamewell fire alarm box system. The system was taken offline around 2017.

Box 41 Associates, the fire buffing group from Lynn, kept a handy list of all the boxes in the city. Unfortunately, their website is offline and has been since 2014. It can be viewed via the Internet Archive. I grabbed the list from their former website and I am re-hosting it here even though the system no longer exists.

For the layout of the system, it seems to me be based on Lynn's seven political wards. For example, 1x boxes correspond to Ward 1, 5x boxes to Ward 5, 7x boxes to Ward 7 and so on with any special boxes getting numbers above 7x. For example, the General Electric factories in Lynn received 9x boxes.

Alas, the list was also dated, since some of the locations listed no longer exist. For example, Lynn Police HQ is now a block over on Washington Street and has been for about a decade and a half. St. Jean's Church is now a housing project of the same name.

Also, if you wondering why it's called Box 41 Associates, it has to do with the box in the list at Washington and Munroe Streets. That is where the First Great Lynn Fire's alarm was struck.

  3. For instance, when a page or video is stacking, now and again sites will utilize Assertive Advertising to show an advertisement while the client trusts that content will stack. Guests are generally more tolerating of this kind of advertising since it's non troublesome, in contrast to Assault Advertising.
