Sanborn Fire Insurance Map 1917 Crisfield, Maryland Library of Congress. This map was created by the Fire Underwriters to determine the fire insurance
rates for the City of Crisfield and surrounding area. Today this process is continued as ISO ratings determining the ability of the fire companies to protect
lives and property. On occasions the underwriters have came into the fire station to test our pumps and equipment and recertified us. They will return in the
future. Our station has done well in the past. Past Chief Engineer P.L.Goldsborough
