Bridgeport Installs Telephone Fire Reporting System
Bridgeport, Conn., recently inaugurated its new emergency reporting system for fire and police. Women telephone operators, replacing male fire fighter personnel, handle the equipment which is connected to 485 street telephone call boxes. Switchboard crews are under the supervision of the superintendent of fire alarms.
Under the ERS program the fire and police telegraph alarm system, and its connecting telephone switchboards have been eliminated. All boxes and equipment in the alarms bureau at fire headquarters have been put up for sale and the personnel reassigned to other duties.
