ing. Langborg advised that
ISO also includes a sub-cate-
gory rating that includes prop-
erties within five to seven road
miles of a fire station and a
credible water source.
Chief Langborg recom-
mends that fire district proper-
ty owners contact their insur-
ance companies to determine
if these improved ratings could
lower their property insurance
rates.
