PURPOSE: To approve the proposed White Cross Fire Insurance District map which has been
expanded to include properties from the Cane Creek Fire District that is not currently in its rated
insurance district.
BACKGROUND: This proposed action is the same concept used in the past by other County
fire departments to address the insurance concerns for property owners.
Certain properties in the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District are located greater than six miles
from Orange Grove Fire Station 2 located at 6801 Rocky Ridge Road, Hillsborough. As a result,
those properties are not within the six mile insurance limits and are rated as a protection class
10. White Cross Fire Department Station 2 is located at 2521 Neville Road in the White Cross
Fire Insurance District and serves an area which is adjacent to the Cane Creek Fire Insurance
District.
The Fire Marshal's Office has worked with representatives from the Orange Grove Fire
Department and the White Cross 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 five (5) parcels into the White Cross Fire Insurance District which will allow
the five (5) parcels to be included in a rated insurance district and be eligible for insurance
premiums. GIS staff has completed a revised map of the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District
which is attached showing those parcels now being added to the White Cross Fire Insurance
District.

Upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners, the Office of the State Fire Marshal can
legally approve transfer of those affected parcels to the White Cross Fire Insurance District.
Five (5) parcels will be added to the White Cross Fire Insurance District as shown on the revised
map of the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District.

lower fire insurance premiums.
