Stockton Fire Department History

We have been fortunate enough to be working on a nomination for the Central Alarm Station on Fremont Street to become a historical landmark. After submitting the nomination on Feb. 4th, the Cultural Heritage Board voted unanimously to pass it to the next step in the process. Over the next few months, the nomination will be submitted to the Planning Commission, and then to the City Council. Should the nomination complete the process, it would mean that any construction or refurbishing of the building would need to be approved by the Cultural Heritage Board- keeping the building as close to it’s original construction as possible.

We would like to thank the initial author of the nomination, Alice Van Ommeren, for seeking out additional information from the fire department. We were happy to assist Alice with research and photos of the Alarm Station, and authoring a portion of the nomination. We would also like to thank Kimberly Bowden, Tod Ruhstaller, and The Haggin Museum for allowing access to the Horice Spencer Collection.

The following is an excerpt from the nomination:

After a landslide win in June of 1924, the Gamewell Company utilized bond measures equivalent to $15 Million in today’s dollar to build a system they would call ‘superior to any other city on the Pacific Coast.’ Capitalizing on the concept promoted by other cities of having a ‘box on every corner,’ the new system would increase the number of Fire Alarm Boxes from 50 to 147. This made alerting services available and reliable in every aspect of the city. With more boxes, more circuits were added to the new system enabling to grow with the needs of the city, and an expanded organization of fire districts allowing increased efficiency in response. Multiple alarm boxes could be pulled without shorting the system, and an entirely secondary circuit loop enabled the alarm operator to alert the firehouses instantaneously, both features previously impossible. The new circuitry in the downtown and business areas were underground and immune to weather conditions, and street level sirens activated by the alarm operator would notify the public to vacate the street until the fire apparatus had passed. Perhaps the most important feature for fire and police, specifically in a time before radios, was the ability to communicate back to the alarm operator through the telegraph in the alarm box. This important feature gave firefighters the ability to call for more support and police officers the ability to contact the central station in case of emergency. The Central Alarm Station operated this and later generations of systems from 1926 to 1980, and was praised as a ‘model in all phases of efficiency.’ As Chief M. D. Murphy boast when it opened; ‘We now have the best Fire Alarm system yet devised, the people of Stockton are to be congratulated.’
