Losses Loom Over Insurers After Lynn Fire Disaster
The Lynn fire loss is debated with estimates ranging from 5 million to 12 million depending on sources. Major agencies Boardman & Ingalls and Silsbee & Geer account for about a third, with total insured in the burned district around 4 million. Most companies face 15 to 40 thousand dollars in losses, uneven across English insurers, and a full loss tally will take 24 to 36 hours to refine.
