Fire Insurance Plaque

Before community firefighting, you could buy fire insurance and the comapny would fix one of these plaques to your property as a quick demonstration that you had fire cover. Then ,if you had a fire, and if the private firefighters found their company plaque on your house, they would wade in. If not, they went away and left you with the problem.
