Fire-bell.

A fire-alarm bell. One designed to indicate by a definite number of strokes the district or locality in which a conflagration is prevailing.

The illustration shows a striking-apparatus consisting of a series of levers connected with the clapper of the bell, and operated by a person stationed in a lookoutlantern above.

The signal-bells are now usually sounded by electricity. See fire-alarm telegraph.
