I debated even putting that one in, but the desire to play that old Sesame Street game “One of These Things (Is Not Like the Other)” overcame me.

Interestingly, the Davenport Fire Department had their own fire alarm boxes already in place when the patrol boxes went up. Makes me wonder if the police got a call on their box about a fire, did they then have to call the fire department to let them know? Thanks for reading!
