Insurance District Map
PURPOSE: To approve the proposed East Orange Fire Insurance District map which has been
expanded to include properties from the Central Orange Fire District that are not currently in the
rated insurance district.
BACKGROUND: This proposal follows the same concept utilized in the past by other county
fire departments to address insurance concerns for property owners.
Certain properties in the Central Orange Fire Insurance District are located greater than six
miles from Orange Rural Fire Station 1 located at 206 South Churton Street. As a result, those
properties are not within the six mile insurance limits and are rated as a protection class 10.
Eno Fire Department Station 2 is located at 5501 St. Mary's Road in the East Orange Fire
Insurance District and serves an area which is adjacent to the Central Orange Fire Insurance
District.
The Fire Marshal's Office has worked with representatives from the Orange Rural Fire
Department and the Eno Fire Department to identify the areas not in the rated Central Orange
Fire Insurance District. Fire Marshal staff has also worked with Orange County Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) to identify those parcels in the Central Orange Fire District that are
not in the six mile limits of Central Orange Fire Insurance District. Staff proposes to move these
parcels into the East Orange Fire Insurance District which will allow thirteen (13) parcels to be
included in a rated insurance district and be eligible for insurance premiums.
GIS staff has completed a revised map of the Central Orange Fire Insurance District showing
those parcels proposed for addition to the East Orange Fire Insurance District. Upon approval
by the Board of County Commissioners, the Office of the State Fire Marshal can legally approve
the transfer of those affected parcels to the East Orange Fire Insurance District. Thirteen (13)
2
parcels will be added to the East Orange Fire Insurance District as shown on the revised map of
the Central Orange Fire Insurance District.
SOCIAL JUSTICE: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact associated with this
item.
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 protection, service delivery or tax rates will
be reflected by approval of the Board of County Commissioners. Upon approval by the Board
and N. C. Department of Insurance, property owners in the expanded area will be eligible for
lower fire insurance premiums.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached
East Orange Fire Insurance District Boundary map for insurance purposes only.
