After the fire is over, what then? The
average citizen gees only a heap of smok
ing nuns ana thinks that Homing re
mains to be done but to clear them away
aud build anew. But to the initiated
the details of the work are manifold.
There are four bodies of men actively
concerned with the ruins.
First, the firemen. They distrust the I

Me may oe lurkinn unuer
any of the heaps of bricks, ready for a (
fresh outbreak. So they do what they
call overhauling. They turn over all
the smoking piles aud drench the embers
and wet down tin- neighboring walla
and remain on guard until everything is
cold. Sometimes they have to wait
marly a week, and their work after tiie
tire is very laborious, as in the Park
place fire, where so many lives were lost
Three days after the fire was over
there were still fifty firemen at work on
the ruins getting out the bodies aril
watching the place to Ciftk" 'ir that no
fijmes would start up again. Many of
these fifty men worked for forty-eight
hours incessantly, with only three hours
intervals for meals. At the great (ire
that destroyed tiie Haveuieyer sugar re
finery it was mom than a week before
the ruins were cold enoii"h to be fcafe.
Second, tiie police, icey proi- m
firemen from the crowds of citizens who
come to look on and the property res
cued from the rabble who come to loot.
They draw what is failed a fire line
about the burning building and keep it
np after it is burned till the work ot the
firemen is done.
Th:rd, the fire patroL This is a pro

maintained by the insurance companies.
It was organized forty years ago, and
was then composed entirely of members
of the volunteer fire department In
lbC3 it was incorporated nnder a charter
which commissioned it to save lives aud
property at tree. In the first place it
really wan a patrol, walking about the
streets from 7-J0 o'clock each evening
till 5-.a) o'clock next morning looking
for firea. Now it ia called to fires in the
same way aa the regular fire depart
ment Its men used to wear the same
uniforms as the firemen, but there was a
row over that and now they are distin
guished by red stripe.
TUB KIKE PATIIOU
The men of the fire patrol go out with
trucks, one truck from each station.
Each truck carries eleven men and axes,
ladders, brooms, shovels, crow oars and
twenty-four immense tarjiaulin cover
ings, with which the fire patrol rnsh'-s
into a building comparatively safe from
fire, but drenched with water, and covers
up the gooils there. The patrolmen
usually work under the firemen. Fur
instance, if there u a fire on the fourth
floor they are busy on the third fl'jor and
tiie fl'jors below covering np g'xsls with
the tarpaulins aud removing them out of
the way of water.
They also follow the hose lines where
th.-se lines run through buildings not on
fire to stop all leaks in the hose or set
hscketa under the leaks or protect goods
from spray. They can't t-il till the lire
Is over whether the property they are
saving is insured or not; therefore they
go ahead without paying any attention
to tiie question.
The tire patrol follow the firemen and
fix things up, saving all they can for the
insurance conipanii'S and stopping all
nnneccssary damage. When the fire
men and police hvi away the tire
patrol stays with the agent of the own
ers, guarding the goods till the insur
ance ia settled or the rescued projierty is
removed to a place of safety.
After all is said and done at the fire
proper, come the Insurance adjusters
poking about the ruins. This is a small,
high priced body of shrewd and experi
enced men, whose business is to find out
on behalf of the insurance companies
how much the loss was. An insurance
tiZr'.-r will always tell you that his is
a judicial function, just as a district at
torney always contends that he ia acliiig
judicially, though the prisouer may not
think so. The insured seldom agree
with the insurance adjuster. lie is sent
en behalf of the insurance companies.
and is on the watch for fraud.
THE ADJUBTtHB UOhik.
The serious work does not usually be
gin till the ashes are cold. Insurance
companies don't take inventories of the
property Insnred nowadays. Ihe cm
tents of a store are constantly changing.
They wait for the insured to make out
his claim in itemized form. Then they
call for the books and the vouchers.
Maybe all hooks and vouchers are burn
d. In that cane the memory of the
owner must dj iu best to supply the de
ficiency.
i Frauds are frequent, and the adjnsters
are usually in business for themselves
not attached to any particular company,
but hired by the job, just like lawyers or
private detectives. They have to keep
their eyes wide niien.
In rase like the Park place Ore, where
everything becomes a heap of ruins in an
iustnut, and no books or papers or ma
terial evidence of any kind is left, the
adjontera have to depend on careful
scrutiny of the itemized claims; Imt In
numbers of other cases where the fire de
partment does its work rapidly the ad
justers make most astonishing finds.
After the insurance is settled the
owner of the building puts the ruins up
for sale. There are a number of con
tractors in the city who will bny them
on speculation. New York Recorder.
