| We continue to work on
ways to save lives, property & money. One that
we are very excited about is a new substation in
Gray. We have been donated land across from Hazel
Fork. Robert and Karen Moses have purchased the
land and paid for the majority of the work that
is needed to prepare it. The trees are mostly
gone and the grading to cut down and level the
land is in progress. Our hope is to
have a substation built there by the Spring of
2019. We will be applying for grants to fund the
new station, so that may delay the building
process. What does
this mean for you? ISO is the company that
rates fire departments for insurance rates. We
are 1.5 points from being a better class rating.
Once this station is built, our rating should
get better. If it does, you save money on
insurance. Hopefully we will save you more money
than the $35 per property you are paying in
membership dues.
A station in Gray will
make every resident in our district 5 driving
miles or less from a station. That means better
insurance rating. Or maybe insurance cost were
way to high before. Now you can afford
insurance. Our response time to emergencies in
the Gray area will be better.
Once we finish the
station, we hope to have a community room that
we can share with the public for their events.
We hope you are excited
to hear the news of a station in Gray and
possibly lower insurance cost. We want our
community to know that we are constantly working
to try and make the fire department better. |
