First sign: If this is an emergency, please go to the nearest pay phone and dial 911. If this is not an emergency feel free to use the new electronic marvel mounted below. However before pushing said technological marvel there are several thing one should be aware of. To learn these several things please read the instructions for use attached to the counter below the button.

Second sign:PLEASE READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE BUZZER Welcome to the latest in technological advances in this, your public service facility. Keep in mind all services and equipment provided by our highly skilled staff is provided by municipal tax monies. The first thing you need to know is the shape of the button. Its round design was chosen so that it could be accessed from any direction with minimum effort. The distance from the floor was chosen so that it would also be accessible to citizens of all statures. Also it is Handicapped accessible as required by state statutes.
To operate the button one need only apply a firm pressure on the button, keeping in mind that it may be reached from any position around the circumferance. Holding the button down for a period of at least 5 seconds but not to exceed 20 seconds will set of a buzzing sound where it may be heard by on duty fire personnell. Please allow a reasonable period between the ringing of the buzzer and the appearance of an actual person. Remember these men may have just returned from a particularly nasty fire and are trying to get some much needed rest. Please be patient. If after reading all this, you feel you still need to talk to someone, or better yet if you even still remember why you are here, press buzzer at own risk!
