THE FIRES OF THE YEAR 1901
Total Loss in New Haven to December

Total Loss in New Haven to December
 Was $92,SS7
 The record for the year 1901 of the New Haven fire department Is an ex- ceptional one in many ways and reflects great credit upon it and it's efficient chief Rufus S. Fancher. From the newest recruit to the head of the de- partment all have worked with the of the department and have taken pride in it's increased efficiency.
 Not a year since the organization of the department have the men been placed in harder places than during the past year and at no time has the department ever accomplished more gratifying results There have been ac- cidents, of course and ones that bring great sorrow to the department, but aside from this the year has been a most successful one, and has added 'an- other wreath of honor to the organiza- ton.
 
 past two years furnish a very interest ing comparison. In 1900 there were 120 box alarms, 194 still alarms and two second alarms. During the past year there were 122 box alams. l61 still alarms and five second alarms, show ing decrease in the actual number of fires. but, on the other hand, the three extra second alarms show that there were more fires that promised to be se- rious than during the previous year,
 During the year 1900 the total loss to property by fire was $10S,172 and the amount of insurance paid was $95,915.02. To the first of December of this year the total loss was $92S3116 and the in suranee paid was S6S321S4 This amount of loss rose from $55,000 at the first of November to the amount stated in the course of the month, and rough estimate fixes the total loss for the entire year at $116,000, as near as can be figured at the present time, or about $S.000 more than last year This in crease is due entirely to the large mum her of fires that have occurred during the month of December just passed within a radius of a quarter of a mile of city hall.
 It is due entirely to the efficiency and dispatch with which the fires were fought that the loss of December alone has not equalled the loss for the en- tire year, and the city is to be heartily congratulated on having at it's disposal one of the finest organizations in the country
