THE FIRE RECORD
Splendid Showing For Chief Steeres Department for the
Year Ending Today
Less Than 100000 LosIy the Worst Month When The Phenx
Building Was Burned

Clerk Morrow OF the Fire Department,
has made out his record of fires and
losses for the year ending today and the
showing for Chief Steere and his
men Is a most creditable one.
The total loss on buildings and contents
is but sl87, 1852, which is a remarkably
small figure for q city of 100000 inhabi-
tants, the large majority OF which lives
and works in wooden buildings. In pro-
portion to the size of Providence 1t is The
smallest record OF loss for q good many
years.
July was the worst month, its losses
amounting to 1854 ,37S.7S upon which an
insurance OF $i7, ,215.2a has been paid. The
excess OF this month was the result of the
fire in the Phenix Building on Westmin-
ster street.
The best month from the fire chiefs
point OF view was September, when only
s206S.66 of the ciry's property went up in
smoke, and in October the total was less
than $500 more.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-12-31


The comparison OF the $751;, ,4S5.12 with
that of 1888, the city's worst year, is
especially favorable. That was the year
OF the famous Aldrich House. Custom
House street and Theater Comique fires,
whom the total for II months was
S749, ,649.37. The next biggest record was
In 1890 when the Barnaby fire occurred and
the loss report for that year was 1858, 1893 .22.
Last year the total loss was 1890, ,147.98,
Two hundred and ninety-nine bell
alarms have been rung in since year ago
today, exactly the same number that there
was in 1892, and there have been 271
"still," making $40 times that the
apparatus has been called out. This es-
tablished an average loss of s32S77 for
each alarm.
There has been no addition TO the appa-
ratus or to the number Of men in the de-
partment during the year.
The tabulated record Of fires, insurance
and alarms Is as follows:
