I have an idea, but have never seen anything like it. I was in RI last week ans saw this in an antique store while in Salem.  Saltwater flyfishing was great!!!

    Went nuts! where did I see??

    The Pvt. school I  went to No. of Lake Tahoe was originally a resort, on the Feather River, built in 1910.The fire hose connections all had those things. Without that, wouldn't have a clue.

    Fire hose gong

    I worked as a facilities maintenenace tech at a large multi bldg place. In the dead of a cold cold night you could hear those going off in an un occupied bldg. They were hooked to the sprinkler and fire hoses. All you needed was a frozen pipe and then the flow began. But those bells could be heard a long way off.
