Recorded in the ledger with varying levels of detail: the date, time, box or fire district, street location, building occupant, building owner, cause of fire, kind of building (building material), business, loss on buildings, personal property, what was covered by insurance, and further notes about the fire that might have included what was damaged, or what was used to combat the fire at that location.
