Fire Inspection Under Way To Set Insurance Rates In Adrian

Results in about three weeks will determine if the city’s classification improves from Class 6 to lower fire insurance rates for commercial and industrial buildings. A move to Class 5 could reduce premiums. a Class 4 would be needed for residential rate reductions, though unlikely for a city of this size. The review covers water supply, fire-fighting personnel and equipment, and downtown building conditions, with the city starting at 5 000 points as demerits are carved off during inspection.
