This fire became earth-shattering news that wracked through all of the Southeast Province. It had also taken 47 million out of Jasper’s pockets.

“Mr. Laine, Mr. Schuler, the fire has burned 40 million Somer Dollars worth of our building materials and facilities in total. There’s also an invisible loss of seven million for rebuilding and adding new facilities as well as compensations for the workers’ injuries.

“Moreover, while no lives are lost, there are 16 severely injured workers. Among them, five are permanently crippled and three were severely burnt as well. These people will have to live the rest of their lives in a hospital bed.

“After the relevant compensations and deducting the insurance, we still have to pay six million excluding the cost for the other mildly injured workers. Including them, it will amount to around 11 million Somer Dollars.”
