Description
This is the Watch Office at the Houston Fire Department as it would look in the 1940s. The card file on the left is a directory to look up where a given call box is when a fire is called in. The Log book would be where all activities were recorded. This Watch Office would be manned 24/7 by firefighters at the fire station. When a call came in, it would be the job of whoever was on watch to ring the bell and wake everyone up to go respond to the fire.
