TEFRA Hearing for Lease-Purchase Agreement
The Briaroaks Fire Department is excited to announce that we are adding on to station 1 to provide sleeping quarters for our firefighters to more comfortably provide 24 hour coverage to our community. This addition will provide 4 double occupancy bunk rooms and an indoor workout area in a separate but attached building. To partially fund this purchase, we will be seeking financing through a Lease-Purchase agreement, the conditions of which are governed by TEFRA which requires a public hearing. The notice of public hearing is being posted in accordance with TEFRA rules and the hearing will be held on September 24, 2025 at 6pm at Station 1.What is the Briaroaks Fire District’s ISO rating?
The ISO (Insurance Services Organization) is an advisory organization and the principal provider of rating and statistical information used by the insurance industry in the United States. Quality of public fire protection is one of the items of statistical information the ISO provides to the insurance industry.
Under the PPC (Public Protection Class) program, the Briaroaks Fire Department has achieved a rating of 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the most desirable rating. This has resulted in comparatively lower insurance rates for homeowners in our district compared with those in a higher PPC classification.
To see how well we stack up against other fire districts, look at the following charts for Texas and Nationwide. As you can see, class 3 is an exceptional rating! Especially, for a volunteer fire department!
