Diaphone Users Past & Present

There are more that were or still are out there.  Quoted from Gamewell Literature: "Convincing evidence of merit is afforded by the use of the Diaphone for public alarm and other emergency signaling purposes in more than 1000 municipalities, industrial, institutional and governmental properties"

Arizona -

Globe - - This horn was on the top on the police building in Globe for 50+ years and was blown at 10 P.M. until 1990.

Carmichael - - Station 1 and Station 2

Eureka, City of

"The city of Eureka, Calif. used to have a Diaphone signal, that was
blown twice every day.  Once at noon, and again at midnight, followed by the
city air raid siren.  The Diaphone was mounted on top of the cities water
tank, approx. 200 feet up, and the air raid siren was at ground level. On the down side, ..., sometime in 1985, (they) had decided that the horns and siren had outlived their usefulness, and were scrapped due to upkeep expense." John Anderson

"Your list of Diaphone users is missing the most famous Diaphone of them
all. The City of Sierra Madre, California still has its system up and
running. It is sounded every day at noon. This Diaphone was featured
in the 1955 movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers." - Jim Hill

Here is a link to the Sierra Madre Vol. Firefighters Assn. site.  When the page loads, it plays a sound clip of their Diaphone!

Here is a link to an amusing article about the "saving" of this horn.  It seems its fate has fallen the way of many others.  With that being said, "Blow me daily"!!

Vernon, City of - Vernon FD - No longer in service
Weaverville -

"Weaverville, in far northwestern California, installed a Diaphone and a
small box network in the early 1950's with a horn and equipment from
Redding, CA and technical assistance from Ukiah, CA. The Diaphone and Smith
Valve are still operational and, while not TOOTed regularly, the horn does
go off on its own occasionally!" - Jim Armstrong and Ex-Chief Dick Berrien

Nantucket FD - 

We currently use the horns for the Nantucket Fire Department.  There is one on HQ and one on station 2.  I was wondering about rebuilding and parts availability.  We would like to add an additional unit to station 1 (HQ) as i have a spare, but it needs rebuilding.  If you have any information, I would be very appreciative.

Raritan Borough Fire Dept. Relief Hose Company #2 - 

Diaphones at both its firehouses. Activated by the Gamewell fireboxes, the Diaphones blew three rounds of the 2 or 3 digit box number until April 1998. When the boxes and circuits were removed, the Diaphone at the North Thompson St. firehouse (1956) was silenced. During a renovation in 2000 the air compressor system and the Diaphone were removed.  The Diaphone located on top of the hose-drying tower at the historic (1883) firehouse at 16 Anderson St. Was converted by myself to a radio system activated by our Plectron paging system that sounded 3 rounds of 5 (Call To Quarters).  This system has just recently been turned off (May 2003) during an exterior building renovation (so as not to blow the workers off the roof). This is an historic renovation to restore the building to the way it looked in 1883 (pre Diaphone). The Diaphone has been moved into the tower behind the louvered vents. I have not had an opportunity test the system as work continues. It is doubtful that it will return to regular use again. Noise complaints from neighbors were becoming more vocal. It makes no sense to annoy the community that this department depends on for financial support. The neighboring town Of Somerville still utilizes boxes and I think 3 horns. - Lou Laine, Engineer Raritan Fire Department

Steve Freeman of the Iselin Chemical Hook and Ladder Volunteer Fire Company writes:

Iselin - - 1 Horn at headquarters on Auth Ave. 

Our Gamewell Diaphone that is still in operation since 1946. Our Diaphone is located at our Headquarters on Auth Ave. in Iselin, NJ. We use a Harrington Air Control Panel and electric solenoid to operate our horn. When our Gamewell valve did not work, the cost for rebuilding the valve was more than the Harrington valve. It does not have the traditional two tone sound of the Gamewell valve, but is very reliable. Our horn originally operated 24 hours a day, but due to the use of pagers and complaints from the public, we only operate the horn from 8:00am to 9:00pm.

Butler, NJ -  (Had 4 horns from 50's to late 90's.)
Borough of Red Bank, Monmouth County - -

Fire horn blasts are a part of Red Bank's emergency response system. The fire horns in Red Bank are part of the Gamewell horn system which has been in use since 1916. The two primary horns are on the roof of the Union Hose Company on Shrewsbury Avenue and the other is on the roof of the Independent Hose Company on Mechanic Street. 

Unfortunately this is what many localities consider regarding sirens and horns...

It is a serious issue in Red Bank that the fire horn blasts are too high in volume and that they are disruptive. By eliminating these fire horn blasts, it has been calculated that the "high time" blasts would be reduced by approximately thirty to forty percent. Determining the maximum number of blasts of fire horns in Red Bank is still open to debate.

Proposed solutions regarding the use of fire horns in Red Bank:

• Lower the decibel levels on the fire horns.
• Relocate the fire horns to non-residential areas.
• Use sirens in place of horns.
• Limit the hours of usage by only activating the fire horns for a specific round of blasts between the hours of eleven p.m. and seven a.m.
• Eliminate the daily usage of the horns at 11:55 a.m. and the sounding of first aid calls between eleven p.m. and seven a.m.
• Require firemen and first aid crews to use pagers.
• Use the horns only for backup purposes.

"Eastchester, NY FD had 5 fire stations, and a Gamewell Box System throughout a 10+square mile town, and all of their diaphones sounded in unison when a box was activated.  It was pretty awesome to listen to them echoing from all directions..... it's unfortunate, but their system was removed a few years ago." John Fleischmann

Fairport - Fairport FD - Removed about 20 years ago.

"A quick story about the horns: East Rochester and Fairport, are neighboring towns. On clear nights you couldn't tell who's horn was sounding, it wasn't uncommon to have guys (my dad one of them) get out of bed in middle of the night and go to the firehouse only to find out it was not for Fairport."  Matt W

The Fire Department purchased a Gamewell System, as it's 4th warning system. It consisted of an air horn connected to control boxes, which were supposed to be placed in various parts of the village. However, the only one installed was on the front of the fire barn (now the village offices) and the telephone operator continued to operate the siren manually.

Middletown, City of  - Recently the system broke down and there is an ongoing debate as to whether to repair the system or scrap it.

Brett Jones, a Northport fireman and Dispatcher writes...

"We have Two of the Diaphones on the firehouse that sound at the same time. For the past twenty years we've used an electric timer to sound the horns, and originally used a Gamewell transmitter box, which is still hooked up in the dispatch office and can be used as a back up incase the electric timer should fail. For fire calls, the horns are sounded twenty times, 5 blasts in a group, repeated four times (which is what the audio file I sent you was of) and for an ambulance call the horns sound two blasts. And a noon Mon-Sat they sound one blast."

So after we installed the siren we kept using the Airhorn just as a keep sake for the Fire Dept. We also have the old alarm box with the old phone on it, the bell and all the hardware for the paperstrip that prints out when it sounds." - Mike, 2nd Assistant Chief

Oregon -

Coos Bay - (town adjoins North Bend -- additional horns may be present) - Unknown if still in use

La Grande - Unknown if still in use

North Bend - "...uses a diaphone to signal noon each day. It is also used to call the volunteer firefighters to the fire. It blasts out long and short signals as a code to give city coordinates of where the fire is. The fighters leave work and meet at the location. The horn is located on top of a tower on top of the largest hill in town. It can be heard for many miles out beyond the city. This has been used from about 1960. I would need to check to see if it was still in use." Paul Albertson

Newport - 

"At our HQ station, we have 3 Gamewell Diaphone horns on the roof of the building that are still in use. We sound them for 2nd & 3rd alarm fires to call in the on-call shifts. The station was built in 1931, and we had new tanks and the horns revamped about 10 years ago. And these horns are LOUD!" Dave Egan, firefighter

"The air horn is no longer in service.  The Gamewell system was taken out of service in the 1950's, however we continued to use the horn into the 1980's.  Our dispatchers activated the air horn manually from our dispatch center using two Gamewell alarm boxes, one for fire calls and one for rescue squad calls.  We even relocated the horn, compressor, air tank and Gamewell boxes when we moved into a new station in 1969.  By the 1980's all firefighters and squad personnel were carrying pagers and the horn was aggravating our neighbors.

We actually had two horns, one in service and the other ready to install when the one in service required maintenance.  Neither horn can be located at this time, however your inquiry has renewed an interest in finding them again for display with other fire memorabilia.  The Gamewell boxes, air tank and compressor are still in place"  Jerry Burks, Ex Chief
