379.185. Whenever any loss or damage shall be suffered in this state from

fire, by any person, persons or corporation, upon property insured under a

policy of insurance of any fire insurance company doing business in this

state, and notice of the fact that such loss or damage has occurred shall be

given by the person, persons or corporation incurring the same, or the agent

thereof, to the insurance company issuing such policy, or to the agent

thereof nearest the place of loss, within a reasonable time after the date of

such loss or damage, the limit to which reasonable time shall be mentioned in

said policy and made a part thereof at the time of issuing the same, but the

time fixed in the policy shall not be taken or construed to be a condition

precedent to the right of recovery, then it shall thereupon become the duty of

such insurance company to furnish to the person, persons or corporation

incurring such loss or damage, such blank forms of statements and proofs of

loss as such insurance company may desire to be filled out, in regard to the

time, origin and circumstances of the fire causing such loss or damage, and

the knowledge and belief of the insured touching the same, the lists and

description and quantity of property destroyed or damaged, and of property

saved and the original cost of such property, and the cash value thereof at

the time of the fire, the details as to possession, ownership, title and

encumbrances, and changes of title, use, occupation, possession, ownership,

location and exposures since the time of issuing such policy, if any, and

other insurance, if any, and description and schedules in such policy.
