New on our blog: the specialized incidents costing Texas fire departments money — and how to stop leaving it on the table.
A commercial barn fire. An EV incident in a fleet parking lot. An oil field emergency in West Texas.
Three very different calls. One thing in common: a commercial insurer with a policy that may cover your department's response costs — personnel time, equipment, suppression materials, and more.

That changes now.
Read the full post to learn which incidents qualify, how the billing works, and why your residents are not on the hook.
