Fire Toll May Boost Brady Insurance Rates This Year
Brady property owners may face a 5 percent rise in fire insurance rates after Fire Chief Howard Salter tallied 1953 losses. He notes Brady's rate relies on five years of insured losses, with current credits at 15 percent likely to drop to 10 percent, and penalties possible up to 15 percent for bad records. Salter urges neat, orderly premises to reduce fires, citing past blazes that stemmed from disorderly conditions. In 1953 Brady saw fire losses of 39,621.87 dollars on property valued at 76,685 dollars. 16 alarms responded and 38 still alarms logged for various fires.
