A2 THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY,THURSDAY, JUNE 16,2022 Belvidere VFD’s improved fire rating to help homeowners Rating improvement to 5 will lower insurance costs From staff reports Perquimans County homeowners who live in the Belvidere Fire District can expect a price break on their home insurance rates starting Sept. 1. The county’s Emergen cy Services agency an nounced last week that the Belvidere Volunteer Fire Department improved its fire rating from the N.C. Department of Insurance. As a result, homeowners who live within 5 miles of the Belvidere Fire Station, regardless of the location of fire hydrants, will have a 5 rating instead of 9E. The improved fire rating comes after a recent in spection by officials with the NC Department of In surance Office and the Of fice of State Fire Marshal, Perquimans Emergency Services said in a press release. According to emergen cy services, inspections of fire departments are required on a regular basis as part of the North Caro lina Response Rating Sys tem. A fire department’s staffing, equipment, main tenance of equipment, communications capabili ties, and access to a water source are all evaluated during the inspection. The inspection results then help determine the insur ance rates for a homeown er who lives within the fire district. One key metric during the inspection is staffing and training. Each year, volunteer firefighters are required to complete a mini mum of 36 hours of training and continuing education to remain active. Last year, the 27 members of Belvid ere Fire Department logged more than 1,644 hours of training — nearly 700 more than the required amount. Perquimans Emergency Services Director Jonathan Nixon praised the Belvidere Volunteer Department for its improved fire rating. “This is an excellent rat ing for a rural volunteer fire department and shows the dedication and continued commitment of our vol unteer firefighters,” Nixon said. “These men and wom en train hard to ensure they are prepared when duty calls to help preserve life and property.” The state’s top fire official also praised the Belvidere department for its achieve ment. “I’d like to congratulate Chief (Lee) Dail for the de partment’s performance and for the hard work of all the department members,” Mike Causey, NC insurance commissioner and state fire marshal, said in the release. “The citizens should rest easy knowing they have a fine group of firefighters protecting them and their property in case of an emer gency.” Dail, chief of the Belvi dere Volunteer Fire De partment, said his depart ment’s members began preparing for its most re cent inspection about four years ago. He described the improved rating as a “team effort.” “To achieve the best rat ing possible, we had to en sure that all the necessary documentation was com pleted and logged,” he said. “Due to these efforts, I am very proud that our depart ment will be able to move from a 9E/10 to a 5/9E to help the citizens in our dis tricts in both Perquimans and Chowan counties.” Hardee’s drive-thru damaged in multi-vehicle accident One transported to hospital, incident under investigation From staff reports HERTFORD — The drive-thru window at Hard ee’s in Hertford sustained sig nificant damage after a mul tiple-vehicle accident at the restaurant Tuesday, June 7.
