firebell
Emergency signal chime
A firebell is a bell rung to signal a fire alarm, traditionally mounted in firehouses or public buildings to alert firefighters and townspeople to emergencies.
The word appears in metaphorical contexts for urgent warnings: Jefferson called the Missouri Compromise a firebell in the night.
Also spelled as two words: fire bell.
