There are many traditions
in the fire Department.
From the showing of uniformed personnel.
One of our fallen.
To the pipes and drums.
As well as the Honor guard.
But there's no greater
tradition than the bill.
The bill dates back to over 200 years
ago during the creation of the fire
service during the Benjamin Franklin era.
The Bell was used to notify
firefighters that there was an
emergency in their area and that they
needed to respond and mitigate the situation.
The bill was also used to notify
firefighters that once that
situation had been mitigated.
That they were to recover their
equipment and their hoses.
And return to quarters to
await their next assignment.
In Houston fire Department.
We use the signal 71.
In just a few moments you will hear 7 gongs,
followed by 1.
To let you know that investigator
Bruce is service here on Earth
has been fulfilled as he awaits
his next assignment in heaven.
May I please have all
uniformed personnel stand?
All uniformed personnel attend 2. Present. Oh
order forms. Please remain standing.
With the use of modern technology,
firefighters are able to utilize handheld
radios while on scene to communicate.
You will now hear a farewell
message from our OEC standby.
AB.
