group OF old time FL Pasoans,
n talking Of the old days, agreed
4 = that while up to 1900 FL Paso's
population was of a transient charac-
ter, its volunteer fire department was
as good as any and as permanent as
a volunteer fire department well
could be.
FL Paso had no fireproof stores in
those days, and had no paid fire de-
partment, but It had a very low fire
insurance rate on account Of compe-
tition offered by British and German
companies, which had offices in Jua-
rez and wrote insurance in FL Paso. A
costly fire scarcely ever occurred
One big fire, resulting in a loss ap-
gregating $4,000, was about the
yearly average. The volunteer fire
department was very efficient and
never let a fire get away from it. If
the department arrived on the scene
in time. About the only exception to
this rule was the burning of the
Grand Central hotel in 1891. The fire
men were there in time, but there
was no water pressure.
Everyone Went to Fires.
Everybody went to the fires in FL
Paso- Delivery wagon boys would
stop delivering and follow the crowd
to the fire. People on the streets and
in stores and saloons would rush out
when they heard the fire bell, jump
into hacks AID hurry to the fire. All
the men of social standing in the city
belonged TO the fire department and
the members Of their respective fami-
lies would all turn out to see them
fight the flames.
