In Germany we still have a couple of "Turmwächter" (turm = watchtower of a church, wächter = watcher) left. Their jobs used to be watching for enemies, fire and blow a horn to signal the time of day. Some have apartments in the watchtower. In my town the woman (http://www.spiegel.de/karriere/bizarre-berufe-tuermerin-auf-...) took the position as recently as two years ago, part time job and she has to go up the stairs every day. Between 21:00 and midnight every half an hour she blows a horn in all 4 directions. Her predecessor did the job for 70 years and reported 20 fires. German Wikipedia lists 10 in Germany, Switzerland, Poland, those are probably the last 10 remaining. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BCrmer
