A fire department in South Jersey is searching for a 114-year-old fire house bell that went missing from its station.
Members of the Pleasantville Fire Department in Atlantic County noticed earlier this week that the old-fashioned bell, which was stored behind the fire house, was gone, the department said. The bell — which measures 3 feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds — was manufactured in 1909 by the Buckeye Bell Foundation and was used in the early 20th century before the creation of sirens to alert firefighters about reported fires.

As they were about to mount the bell, they noticed that it was gone.on Tuesday, the department asked for the public’s help and said they would accept the bell returned with “no questions asked.”
