The Carteret County Board of Commissioners in cooperation with the NC Dept. of Insurance - Office of State Fire Marshall have instituted a six mile fire district for the Broad and Gales Creek Fire and EMS Departments as of their April 2009 meeting. The move from a five mile district to a six mile district has brought almost all of the Red Barn Road area into our Fire and EMS district and will in turn save the homeowners a substantial amount of money on the fire portion of their Homeowners Insurance Policy cost. Most of the area falls in to the ISO Rating of 7 and the rest falls into a rating of 9S from a rating before of 10. For the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule click here.
