I <br /> <br />**~?,?;,... CABARRUS COUNTY "' f~F~ ~-;~ ":' <br /> <br /> February 25, leS& <br /> <br /> Commissioner Archie Bernhardt <br /> Fire Commissioner <br /> 409 Winecoff School Rd. <br /> Concord, NC 28025 <br /> <br /> Dear Mr. Bernhardt: <br /> <br /> As you requested we reviewed the changes in the Caberrus <br /> County Fire Protection Resolution proposed by several fire <br /> departments. <br /> I see no problem with most of the proposed changes, however, <br /> some of the wording and references in the changes are vague. My <br /> comments are as follows: ..... <br /> <br /> Section 3 <br /> On replacing "herein specified" with "set by state f re <br /> protection law": <br /> <br /> Minimum standards for fire departments are not genera y set <br /> forth in state law. The only reference to the equipment required <br /> for a tire department is in GS lis where it states to participate <br /> in the Fireman's Pension Fund the department must have equipment <br /> worth $5,000. <br /> <br /> Insurance Services Otfice (lSD) has requirements for fire <br /> departments in order for their communities to qualify for a <br /> reduction in insurance premiums. <br /> <br /> The NC Department o! Insurance has requirements for the <br /> tnt.rial certification of fire departments wishing to participate <br /> in the Fireman's Relief Fund. These are the requirements we have <br /> specified in section 5 (d) of the resolution however they are not <br /> in state law. <br /> <br /> in regard to training, the resolution requires only what the <br /> state law sets forth. <br /> <br /> On removing "but the Fire Marshal may make other such <br /> inspections as deemed necessary": <br /> <br /> This was only placed here as a safeguard ip case of changes <br /> during the year. I foresee no problem with its removal el long <br /> es the departments do not change dreatically during the b~dgst <br /> year. ~,~ <br /> <br /> <br />
