In every community, things happen behind the scenes that have a tangible impact on our everyday lives. In the summer of 2020, the Town of Boone Fire Department saw its Fire Protection Class rating change after evaluation from the N.C. State Fire Marshall's office.

That change in class has a direct impact on how fire insurance rates are calculated for commercial and residential policy holders, and in this case, a positive change to the rating means a positive impact on the wallets of many in our area.

Town of Boone Assistant Fire Chief Mike Teague and Peak Insurance Group President Chuck Eyler join us on this week's installment of Mind Your Business, and detail how the  Fire Protection Class rating  is calculated and how insurance savings is passed along to the consumer.

Mind Your Business is produced weekly thanks to a partnership between Appalachian Commercial Real Estate and High Country Radio.
