Rusling Hose Company's Bell



The old fire bells were those the City of Trenton's volunteer fire companies used to summon firefighters.  Trenton became a paid fire department on April 4, 1892 and the volunteer companies were disbanded.  The Liberty Engine Company was located at 561 North Clinton Avenue and the Lincoln Fire Company was located at 1005 South Clinton Avenue.
