WIRELESS CALLS TO FIREMEN
QUICKER THAN ’PHONE. ASNIERES, October 21. Firemen are now summoned to brigade headquarters by wireless in this populous manufacturing suburb of Paris.) Rene Guichard, a 23-year-old volunteer fireman, has invented a set with which the pressing of a button will ring an alarm in each fireman’s home. The warning is instantaneous and private to the firemen, and is cheaper and quicker than the telephone. The set can be adapted for summoning the brigade to an outbreak of firedamp in a mine. Poison gas in the mine automatically releases the wireless alarm •signal. “My set,” M. Guichard declared, “has also been fitted to the brigade chief’s car, “so that when he has arrived at a fire he can summon another ladder, another engine, or anything else wanted.”
