Instead of fighting the fire these men would be involved with the protecting of the buildings valuable contents from fire using tarps,Physically moving items from harms way etc to limit water damage there by saving insurance company's millions of dollars over the years and allowing a business to be back up and running much faster after a disaster.The last such of these Insurance company provided services ended in 2006 In New York city
Now you would think with the extreme high cost of replacing ever more expensive and hard to replace electronic systems in business these services would be expanded but no bottom dollar insurance company's would rather you lose and they fight you all the way to court and a lawsuit from you getting paid for your lost and damaged assets. let alone how Travelers Insurance screwed many Fire patrolmen out of benefits as well when they took over an insurance company .
The fire patrols also played a very important role of Fire prevention as well as detection of fires when they conducted patrols in the city's
and even to this day when fire suppression and detection systems are taken out of service a fire patrol must be established some times by employees of building involved being given the duty or the hiring of a professional security guard service depending on what the local authority requires depending on risk.
While Burglar Alarms and Sprinkler and Fire Systems have eliminated many places security guards where once used some insurance company's still require them at certain facilities must have guards walk around and patrol the facility looking for fires and break ins etc.
so while insurance paid are no more they still exist in one form or another just not on the scale they once where.
