The history of fire alarm bells in the UK includes the use of bells in medieval times, the invention of alarm boxes, and the development of automated electric fire alarms:

Medieval times: Towns and cities in Europe used bell towers to warn residents of fires.

Alarm boxes: In 1852, Moses Farmer and William Channing invented alarm boxes that used a crank system to send the location of a fire to the nearest alarm station.

Automated electric fire alarms: In 1890, Francis Robbins Upton and Fernando Dibble invented the first automated electric fire alarm. The alarm had a battery, a bell dome, a magnet, and a thermostatic device. When the thermostatic device detected heat above a certain level, the battery closed the circuit and the bell rang.
