Chelan Fire & Rescue Fire protection classification improves

CHELAN - Chelan Fire and Rescue is pleased to announce that residents and business owners in the city limits of Chelan will improve from a fire protection classification of six to a five. Residents living in the County within five  miles of Station 71 (Downtown Chelan) and in an area with hydrants (except Chelan Falls)  will improve from a seven to a six. Residents within five miles of Station 73 (Union Valley) will improve from an eight to a seven. Unfortunately, due to a decrease in volunteers, the residents at Station 75 (South Lakeshore) will move from a seven to a nine. Therefore, we need two additional volunteers to maintain the current protection class for Station 75. Interested Volunteers can find applications at www.chelan7.com.  
So what does this mean for you? If your insurance providers use the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau (WSRB) fire protection classification ratings, you can call your provider after June 1 and potentially get a lower insurance rate on your home or business insurance. It also means that your fire department is better staffed and equipped than before to serve you. This is all thanks to your support. As our community grows, Chelan Fire and Rescue is committed to providing you with the highest level of service.
