Gamewell Box 224 alerted B-shift today around 1100hrs for a Box Alarm at Broadway & Keagy Ave . While equipment was responding, Hanover Police gave an updated about a vehicle accident close to the same location. Engine 79-3 arrived to find one vehicle into a pole. The Gamewell Box was pulled to alert the Fire Department of the accident. Great thinking of Off Duty Captain Kemmberly.

A note to our Citizens
Gamewell Boxes are all over the town of Hanover. They are the Red Boxes on telephone poles and buildings, red and white “Fire” stickers are on the sides of the Boxes. If you have an “EMERGENCY”, activating a Gamewell Box is the fasted way to get Emergency Responders to your location. Please remember always to call 911 after activating a Box, stay by the Box and wait for Emergency Responders to arrive.
