The report recalls the National
Board OF Fire Underwriters report
on the City of Wilmington during
the period of 1921 through 1926.
THE fire loss for that period
was 81, 283, 600. The average num-
Der of fires was 2O6 with an aver
age loss per fire of $1,246 and a
per capita loss of $7.13. The above
figure was based on an estimated
population of q ,000," the report
says.
The following report is based
on a population of 33,495, for the
years 1886 through 1910: Total fire
loss for the period was $3.50, 261. rs.
The average number of fires was
474 per year with an average loss
per fire of 1854 and a per capita
loss of 1922. The per capita loss
based on 100000 population would
be $1.94. Although the department
is responding to more than twice
as many alarms per year, the fire
loss, the average loss per fire and
the per capita loss has shown a
sharp decrease during the last five

year 1910 there were 251 box

The fires occurred in 367 frame
