Silver fire medal with vote of thanks to PC 125 B, Charles A. CHURCHILL, for having rescued a woman from the roof of a house which was on fire in Elizabeth S. The officer from a back street perceived that the house was on fire, and that the woman who, was partly dressed, had got onto the roof from a garret window. He promptly threw off his coat and climbed up a waterspout on to the roof, whence he lowered the woman on to the roof of a lower building and then procured a ladder, by which he descended. Considerable damage was done before the fire was extinguished.

Awards were made to PC 104 F, Andrew WILLIAMSON and PC 267 D, Walter HODSON, each having previously received the society’s silver medal for saving life from fire. The fire broke out in a house in Great Howard St, which burned with great fierceness. Knowing two children were in the house the officers placed ladders against window, but the room being all ablaze they were unable to enter until the fire was partly subdued. The two officers then at great personal risk entered the room and found the two children and brought them down to the street, when, the doctor in charge of the horse-ambulance pronounced life extinct. The fire was not extinguished till the house was gutted. The committee awarded to each of the police constables a silver clasp for his medal, with a vote of thanks and 20s. and informed them [as well as PC125 B] that their awards would be forwarded to the watch committee.
