Icard Fire District Receives New I.S.O. Rating After Inspection
9-25-2008
North Carolina Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Jim Long announced on
September 15, 2008 that the Icard Fire District completed its routine inspection and
received a 5 rating, effective Monday, December 1, 2008. The inspection, conducted by
officials with the Department of Insurance Office of State Fire Marshal ( OSFM ) , is
required on a regular basis as part of the North Carolina Response Rating System
( NCRRS ) . Among other things, the routine inspections look for proper staffing levels,
sufficient equipment, proper maintenance of equipment, communications capabilities
and the availablity of a water source.
The 5 rating is an improvement over the previous rating of 5 / 9S. The ( NCRRS ) rating
system ranges from 1 ( Highest ) to 10 ( Not recognized as a certified department by the
state, with most rural departments falling into the 9S category. While lower ratings do
not necessarily indicate poor service, a higher rating does suggest that a department is
overall better equipped to respond to fires in its district. Higher ratings can also
significantly lower homeowners insurance rates in that fire district.
" I'd like to congratulate Chief Lingerfelt for his department's performance and for the
hard work of all the departments members, " said Commissioner Long. " The citizens in
the Icard Fire District should rest easy knowing they have a fine group of firefighters
protecting them and their property in case of an emergency. "
State law requires ( OSFM ) officials to inspect departments serving districts of 100,000
people or less, which makes up all but 6 departments of the state's fire districts.
