PURPOSE:
To approve the Central OrangeFire Insurance District Mapwhich has been
expanded to include properties within six road miles of Orange Rural Fire Department Station 3.
BACKGROUND:
Orange Rural Fire Department recognized the need to acquire land and build
a fire station to enhance fire protection services of the property owners and residents in the
northeast area of the district. Property owners in that area were not eligible to be in the fire
insurance district because they were more than six road miles from Orange Rural Station 2
located on Phelps Road.
Land was purchased and Station 3 was completed in April 2012. The station is located at2510
Walker Road. Construction of Orange Rural Fire Department Station 3was approved before
the formation of the Emergency Services Workgroup.The station is now equipped with
apparatus and is awaiting certification from The North Carolina Department of Insurance,Office
of the State Fire Marshal. The insurance boundaries for Station 3 need to be extended to six
road miles from the station. Expansion of the insurance boundaries will allow property owners
in the northwest area of the district to be include inside the insurance districtand take
advantage of lower insurance rates.
Emergency Services staff worked withOrange Rural Fire Department and Orange County
Information Technologies – Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to extend the boundaries
and produce an accuraterevised map of the Central OrangeFire Insurance District.Themap,
identified as the Central Orange Fire Insurance District Map, is attached and has been reviewed
and approved by staff from the North Carolina Department of Insurance,Office of the State Fire
Marshal Ratings and Inspections Division. Upon approval by the Board of County
Commissioners, the Office of the State Fire Marshal can extend the fire insurance district to six
road miles from Orange Rural Station 3.

An analysis was conducted by staff to determine the number of parcels of property affected by
the insurance district expansion, and 34 parcels of property with 35 addressable structures will
be added to the Central OrangeFire Insurance District as shown on the attached map.
The parcels are shaded in green on the attached map, andthe black dots indicate addressable
structuresnot currently in the insurance district.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The approval of this item has no financial impact on the County. This is
an administrative action only and no changesin fire tax rates will be reflected by Board
approval. Upon Boardapproval, property owners included in the expanded area will be eligible
for lower fire insurance premiums.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached
Central OrangeFireInsurance DistrictMapfor insurance purposes only.
