fire bell
Emergency evacuation chime
A fire bell is a bell rung to signal a fire emergency, alerting people to evacuate or firefighters to respond.
Before electronic alarms became standard, fire bells were mounted in public buildings, firehouses, and factories.
The term now often refers to any loud alarm serving this purpose: The fire bell sent everyone rushing for the exits.
