Fire insurance ratings improve

Posted on January 29, 2009 by Staff

Both the Town of Carrboro and the South Orange Fire District received new insurance ratings effective Jan. 1.

The new ratings – 3 for the Town of Carrboro and 5 for the South Orange Fire District – are an improvement over the previous 4 for the town and 9S for South Orange. The North Carolina Response Rating System ranges from 1 (best) to 10 (not recognized as a certified fire department). The ratings are based on inspections of proper staffing levels, sufficient apparatus, proper maintenance of equipment, communications capabilities and availability of water sources.

Better ratings can significantly lower property insurance rates and Carrboro Fire Chief Travis Crabtree recommends that property owners served by Carrboro contact their insurance providers and advise them of the improved ratings.
