# RECOGNIZED RURAL FIRE PREVENTION DISTRICTS
Page 81 of the Texas Commercial Property Rating Manual specify the premium credits available on eligible risks in rural fire prevention districts. To be eligible, risks must have telephones for communicating alarms to a responding fire department. Risks must be within ten miles over an all-weather road of a responding fire department.
An eligible Class 2 risk has no requirement for water supply. A class 1 risk has a reservoir of 5000 gallons filled by well or other constantly available water source within 750 feet; or a National Standard three way fire hydrant connected to a six-inch or larger water main furnishing a sustained flow of 500 gallons per minute or more for 100 minutes with a residual pressure of 20 pounds per square inch. The hydrant must be within 750 feet of the eligible risk.
The risk must be in the rural fire prevention district, but the responding fire department may or may not. The responding fire department and class thereof are listed below.
