[ FIRE DEPARTMENT ]

Destruction of buildings to arrest fire.

1O2. Section 27. The officer in charge of the fire department at any fire, with the concurrence of the mayor or two (2) members of the police and fire commission may cause any building to be pulled down or destroyed when deemed necessary, in order to arrest the progress of the fire. Whenever any building is so pulled down or destroyed, any person having an interest in such building may present his claim for damages to the council and it shall thereupon be the duty of the council to pay such claimant such damages as may be just under all the circumstances taking into consideration the fact whether or not such loss would probably have occurred to such building if it had not been pulled down or destroyed, and whether the same was insured or not. If the council and such claimant shall not be able to agree upon the amount of damage to be paid such claimant, then the amount of such damages shall be ascertained by the appraisal of a jury, to be selected in the same manner as in cases of juries to appraise damages for taking private property for public use. Such jury may visit the premises and hear all the proofs in the case, and shall allow such claimant such amount of damages as they may deem proper under all the circumstances, as above stated. If such jury shall not be able to agree, a new jury shall be impaneled as above provided, until a jury has been obtained that shall agree and the city shall pay such claimant the amount of damages fixed by such jury. There shall be no appeal from the verdict of such jury, either by the city or any claimant.
