CABARRUS COUNTY <br />EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Date: Apri129, 2008 <br />To: Cabarrus County <br />Board of Commissioners <br />From: Steven Langer <br />Cabarrus County Fire Marshal <br />Re: Boundary changes to the Cabarrus County <br />Fire Insurance Districts for Midland and Flowes Store Fire Department <br />In August of 2005 the Department of Insurance conducted an inspection of Cabarrus <br />County Fire Departments. As a result of this inspection there were several districts that <br />were identified as having areas beyond 6 miles from the fire station. This placed a <br />number of residents within these districts in a class 10 rating which is considered <br />unprotected and raising their insurance premiums. <br />In some cases this issue was easily fixed by moving the boundary lines and placing <br />residents in a different fire district. However, there are three districts that the only <br />solution was to build anew fire station. Last year the Cabarrus County Board of <br />Commissioners assisted the Midland Fire Department with funding to do just that. With <br />this new station we are now able to provide fire protection to a large area in the Flowes <br />Store Fire District that is currently unprotected. <br />As a result of this new station the Fire Marshal's Office along with the assistants of both <br />Fire Department Chief's, have redrawn the disMct boundary line between Midland and <br />Flowes Store Fire Department as indicated on the attached maps. The two maps meet the <br />requirements of the Department of Insurance and have been approved by the state. <br />A public hearing is required under Senate Bi11386. We request that this public hearing <br />beheld at the Board of Commissioners June meeting on the district changes and consider <br />approval of our recommendations. <br />Emergency Managemene and Fire Marshal's Office <br />85 Church Street, SE.
