There was insurance on the buildings and contents. The only fire hydrant at Pleasant View 1is the privately-owned one of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company, located mear the casino owned by the company. This is near- 1y a mile distant from the destroved cottages. Pleasant View, like Watch Hill, is within the:town of Westerly, but in the: town proper there is no fire department ‘supported by the tax- payers of the whole town. Hence the Westerly fire district and the Watch Hill fire district, ‘each covering pre- scribed sections of the town.. Besides Pleasant View, the villages of Brad- for@ and White Rock, as well as other outlying sections of the village of Westerly, are without organized fire protection. . The Westerly fire district is ‘well equipped with a hook and lad- der truck, two motor-driven hose wagons and two steam fire engines, with the powerful steain pump of the Westerly Textile company 2s an aux- iliary in the event of afire in.the bus- iness section of the village. However, this well-equirped department could be of no service at Pleasant View under existing conditions.
