华盛顿的防火和消防斗争。
这一年在美国首都收到了六百八十六十钟和579个当地火灾警报，比前一年增加了141。总估计的LIRE损失为526,030美元，保险为4,241,853美元。这次火灾损失比上一年的损失增加了214,511美元，这很大程度上是由于额外的警报大火的数量，二十四个这样的火灾导致总损失为330,521美元。尽管有这种增加，但消防部门在处理大量火灾方面的工作最令人愉悦，并且该部门的效率已经以很高的标准保持。全年对商业房，酒店，公寓房等进行了认真和彻底的检查，当指出了火灾中的商店的比较自由度时，这种防火努力的价值显而易见。该部门也对剧院，动画厅和其他公共集会和娱乐场所的顾客的保护也受到了部门的最接近监督，并且在发生火灾或恐慌的情况下，没有忽略任何预防措施来使尽可能安全的地方进行安全。与国会委员会的工作有关，该部门的首席工程师对联邦政府拥有的各种建筑物进行了检查，并建议对乘员以及政府记录进行充分的保护。在这一年中，已经为消防部门提供了以下运动设备：一种组合化学发动机和软管旅行车；一辆用于首席工程师的汽车，另一辆车是机械校长的汽车。在来年的专员的估计中，额外的电动火灾设备已包括在内，希望国会能够授予该拨款。 Discipline in the fire department has been maintained at its usual high standard and the conduct of the officers and members has been such that only in extremely rare cases was it necessary for the commissioners to admisister severe punishment for violations of the rules. November 25, 1910, a new fire company designated as “engine company No. 23,” was placed in service on 12th street between G and H streets northwest. The flags presented annually to the engine company and the truck company having the highest standard during the year, both in discipline and efficiency, were won by engine company No. 21, under the command of Capt. E. O’Connor, and truck company No. 1, under the command of Capt. C. E. Schrom.
