The "Tolling of the Bell Ceremony" is a tradition at a fallen firefighter's funeral. During the tour of a firefighters shift a bell which has now gave way to a more modernized alerting system sends the signal that a call for help is needed. When the call was over the bell would be rung three times to signal that everyone was back at the station. At a funeral it is rung three times to symbolize a firefighters last call and that he is now home in heaven. Some dispatch centers will call the firefighters name and number three times before saying rest in peace.
