Reduced Fire Insurance Premiums

WHEREAS under current Insurers Advisory Organization criteria, to realize reduced fire insurance premiums residences must be located within an 8km travel distance from a fire hall; AND WHEREAS in areas where road conditions vary from highway to gravel, travel distance is not a good indicator of adequate response; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Union of BC Municipalities request that the Insurance Advisory Organization change the criteria for reduced fire insurance premiums to travel time rather than travel distance.
