Rural Caledon Residents Tax Break

Caledon Fire and Emergency Services were recently given a significant rating that may lower insurance rates for rural residents.

The service earned the Superior Tanker Shuttle Service Accreditation on October 2nd.

This accreditation certifies the department’s ability to provide water for fighting fires in rural areas of town for all nine fire stations in Caledon.

Fire Chief Dave Forfar says “this accreditation qualifies some rural residents with homes, farms and commercial businesses for potentially lower insurance rates.”

Those who qualify include:

– Residents who own detached dwellings within 8 kilometres (by road) to a fire station and are 5 kilometres from an approved water supply may be eligible to receive a cost reduction in their fire insurance rates from insurers in Canada.

– Commercial business owners who own property within 5 kilometres (by road) to a fire station and are 2.5 kilometres from an approved water supply may be eligible to receive a cost reduction in their fire insurance rates from insurers in Canada.
