Fire Insurance Cost Rise in Baytown After Twin Blazes
City Manager C Darwin Saddleton warns that Baytown faces a reduced good fire credit rating after two major fires within eight days. A drop could hike fire insurance premiums, potentially by five percent annually for years, depending on state insurance law and the damage assessments for the damaged properties. The town estimates the loss from the blazes at about 350000, but the state commission will base its rating decision on broader policy losses and the insured values of the affected buildings.
