🕰️ Throwback Thursday — January 6, 1958![]()
From the Archives of the Bucks County Courier Times![]()
This week we're going back to Monday, January 6, 1958, when the newspaper featured the Croydon Fire Company's radio system.![]()
![]()
Ray Piuma was testing the company's radio system, including receiving sets placed in the homes of members. When the fire siren was activated, the receivers would signal, allowing volunteers to receive information about the call before leaving their homes.![]()
![]()
📻 Fast forward to today, and our volunteers still rely on technology to alert them when a call comes in. Members carry pagers and also receive alerts directly on their phones.![]()
![]()
🚨 Our most trusted way of knowing there is a call is still the siren atop the firehouse. Technology is great, but technology has its flaws— the siren is there as another way to make sure our members know when their community needs them.
