Some insurance premiums could go down in southwest Wake County, according to county officials.
Saturday morning, the county shared that the Swift Creek Fire Department in the southwest part of Wake County has improved its fire rating from Class 4 to Class 2. The initial announcement came from State Fire Marshal and Commissioner of Insurance Mike Causey.
“This is a great accomplishment by the Swift Creek Fire Department,” said Shinica Thomas, chair, Wake County Board of Commissioners. “We’re proud to see how our local fire departments are constantly working to improve, making our residents safer than ever before. We thank our firefighters for their dedication and hard work.” “This improved rating is a testament to the hard work of many at the Swift Creek Fire Department,” said Wake County Fire Services Director Darrell Alford.
