Hydrant inspection may affect homeowner insurance
Federal inspectors will rate the Lake Dillon Fire Rescue’s communication systems, firefighting operations and department protocol at the end of September.
If the evaluations come in lower, or higher, than the last inspection in 1999, homeowners’ insurance premiums are usually affected. In 1999, home inspectors of the Insurance Service Office gave the fire district a weak rating, which is common in smaller communities with high fire danger. However, Lake Dillon has improved its response time significantly since 1999. Once the evaluation is done, it can take a couple months to find out how the score will affect premiums.
