31 See: BCA, Police Sergeants Daily Report Book 1865-1866, GR-426, Volume 2. *It is filled with numerous entries about fires that had broken out the night before while the officers were on duty.

The with the limited ability of the fire department ot contain the blaze, often the structure would simply burn to the ground.*
