Reports by insurance companies as to fire losses.

Every fire insurance company transacting business in this state shall report to the Fire Marshal, through the secretary or other representative of the insurance company, all fire losses on all property insured in such company within the state, showing the owner and occupant of the premises burned, the date of the fire, the location, the cause of the fire, occupancy, the amount of insurance, the sound value of the property and the amount of loss paid. Such report shall be made monthly on or before the tenth day of each month. In case of fire of suspicious origin, an immediate preliminary report shall be made through a representative of the insurance company, stating the name of the owner and occupant of the premises burned, the date of the fire, the location and occupancy and such other facts and circumstances as known by them tending to establish the cause and origin of the fire. Such report shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any report that such company may be required to make by any law of the state to the Commissioner of Insurance or other state officer.
