Here is a question to all the alarm buffs.....were there any Suffolk dept.s that opperated gamewell fire box systems?? I think Lindenhurst at one time?  ? Traveling through Suffolk as a youngster, relatives lived out there, I never saw any, unlike Nassau which seemed like every Dept. south of Old Country road had them........ |

As far as I know, Lindenhurst never had them. I could be wrong, I will look into it.

Gamewell Box/Diaphone system: A few departments still have the original set-up. Most street alarm pull boxes have been removed and horns are manually operated by a dispatcher or firecom. Suffolk: Northport Deer Park Riverhead Greenport Smithtown Saltair ( Boxes are still in service linked to horn) West Sayville Nassau: Bellrose Terrace Floral Park New Hyde Park ( boxes still linked to horns) Long Beach Lawrence Cedarhurst North Bellmore Baldwin Freeport East Rockaway Garden City Garden City Park Mineola Port Washington Glenwood Mahnasset Lakeville Westbury Hicksville ( Radio boxes linked to dispatch) Farmingdale Elmont Lynbrook Valley Stream Bethpage South Farmingdale West Hempstead Malverne Franklin Square Hempstead Glen Cove  |

Yes that's right but Oceanside and Island Parks pull boxes were hooked up to a different type of horn system ( Federal Diaphragm horns ) ..They weren't the traditional Gamewell Diaphone fire horns.. The gamewell pull boxes were supposed to operate with the diaphone but some departments had them hooked to other waring devices...

Didnt Seaford, Levittown and Roosevelt use boxes also?
