Years Fire Loss Here
$11,7O3, More Than 1897
$1,36O of Amount Accounted for in December;
33 Fires in 1898, Compared With 81 in 1887;
Six Months Last Year Without Fire Damage

A total fire loss of $11,7 03 for 1893
was shown today in a compilation of
the records of Fire Chief Cooper Ellis,
and this compares with $9,OS5 in 1888,
an increase of around $4,000 for last
year.
Five fires in six calls to firemen
in December accounted for a total
of $3.50 fire loss in December, in
Guiding an automobile and two roos
blazes.
During 1888 there were 33 fires that
required assistance of firemen to ex
tinguish, compared with GA in 1887.
but which were not as destructive.
During the past year there were
six months January February,
March, April August and September
when there was no fire loss in the
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-01-16

city. In 1887 there were seven months
without any fire damage. Sixty-three
alarms were answered in 1888, COM
pared with so in 1887.
The biggest monthly fire loss in
1888 was So OO4 in July. November
had 81 500 and December $1,360.
There was no major fire during the
year. The speed with which firemen
answered calls and the effectiveness
of their work in combating flames
after reaching the scene of fires hell
down property loss from this cause
Fire Chief Cooper Ellis was adj
vanced to that position last May after
serving as a truck driver with the
department for some years. He
brought to the job long experience
in the service.
