ORANGE COUNTY
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: February 18, 2014
Action Agenda
Item No. 6-d
SUBJECT: Approval of Expanded Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Map
DEPARTMENT: Emergency Services PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Map Jason Shepherd, 919-245-6151
PURPOSE: To approve the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Map which has been expanded
to include properties within six (6) road miles of Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Company Station
3.
BACKGROUND: Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Company recognized the need to acquire land
and build a fire station to enhance fire protection services for the property owners and residents
in the south west area of its district. Property owners in that area were not eligible to be in the
fire insurance district because they were more than six (6) miles from Orange Grove Fire Station
1 located at 6800 Orange Grove Rd.
Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Company purchased land on Nicks Road. The station, located at
4725 Nicks Road, was completed in December 2013. The station is now equipped with an
engine and a tanker and is awaiting certification by the N.C. Department of Insurance, Office of
the State Fire Marshal. The insurance boundaries for Station 3 need to be expanded to include
properties six miles from this station. Expansion of the insurance boundaries will allow property
owners in the south west area of the district to be in a rated insurance district and take
advantage of lower insurance rates if within six (6) road miles of the station. Approval of the
expanded insurance district has no effect on the original fire district boundary.
Emergency Services staff worked with the Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Company and Orange
County Information Technologies-Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to ensure an accurate
revised map of the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District. The map identified as the Cane Creek
Fire Insurance District Map is attached and has been reviewed by staff from the North Carolina
Department of Insurance, Office of the State Fire Marshal Ratings and Inspection Division.
Upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners, the Office of the State Fire Marshal can
extend the fire insurance district to six (6) road miles from Orange Grove Volunteer Company
Station 3.

An analysis was conducted by staff to determine the number of property parcels affected by the
insurance district expansion. There will be 151 parcels with 166 addressable structures that will
be added to the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District as shown on the attached map. The added
parcels are shaded in green on the attached map and the black dots indicate addressable
structures that are not currently in the insurance district. The addition of Orange Grove
Volunteer Company Station 3 has reduced the number of properties outside of the rated fire
insurance district from 658 properties to 14.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The approval of this item has no financial impact on the County. This is
an administrative action only and no changes in fire tax rates will be reflected by Board
approval. Upon approval, property owners within six (6) road miles of the fire station in the
expanded area will be eligible for lower fire insurance premiums.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached
Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Map for insurance purposes only.
