For populations over 50,000, the annual loss cost shall be $138,441 plus $21,721 for each 10,000 people or major part thereof.
For All Population Groups:
Minimum loss cost (NOT premium)........................................................................................................................................
$4,731
A. The premium charge for the “home area” shall be the sum of:
1. The premium charge corresponding to the population of the “home area,”
and
2. A loss cost (NOT premium) charge of $115 per fire protection contract where the “home area” has obligated itself to provide
protection to another “home area” pursuant to a fire protection contract,
and
3. The separate premium charges for each “outside area” corresponding to the population of each such “outside area” that is serviced
by the “home area” under a fire protection contract.
However, when a “outside area” has more than one contract for fire protection, the additional premium charge for each “home
area” providing fire protection to such “outside area” shall be a proportionate share of the total premium corresponding to the
population of the “outside area,” provided that the books and records of the “home area” are maintained so as to show separately
its contract price as well as the total cost of all contracts being paid by the “outside area.” The proportionate share shall be
determined on the basis of the ratio that the contract price paid to the “home area” bears to the total contract price for all fire
protection for such “outside area.”
B. The premium charge where a fire company or fire department operates in, or is maintained jointly by, two or more villages, towns, or
fire districts, shall be the sum of the separate premium charges for each village, town, or fire district, corresponding to the population
of each such village, town, or fire districts.
C. Section 30 of the Volunteer Firefighters’ Benefit Law makes a county, city, town, village, or fire district responsible for such benefits to
volunteer firefighters of fire departments or companies in their area.
Employers Liability coverage is not automatically afforded under these circumstances to the fire departments or companies whose
firefighters are covered by the municipality’s policy. However, the municipality may elect to extend Employers Liability coverage for an
additional 10% of that premium which is developed for the volunteer firefighters of these fire departments or companies. Use
endorsement WC 31 06 07. This additional premium shall be assigned to Code 9850 “Premium for the Extension of Employers
Liability Coverage to Additional Interests under a VBFL policy.”
D. The premium charge for a group policy subject to the provisions of Section 32.2 of the Volunteer Firefighters’ Benefit Law is
determined on the basis of the aggregate population of all entities insured under the group policy. Refer to Rule II.F.2 of the Manual.
The terms “home area” and “outside area” used in Rule A above are defined as follows:
“Home Area”
a.
Any city, village, or fire districts, having its own fire department, or protected pursuant to a fire protection contract with an incorporated
fire company, located within the city, village, or district.
b.
Any town fire protection district or town fire alarm district protected pursuant to a fire protection contract with an incorporated fire
company located within the town fire protection district or town fire alarm district.
The territory of a town located outside of a city, village, fire district, town fire protection of town fire alarm district, included within the
area of operating set forth in the certificate of incorporation of an incorporated fire company located in such territory.
c.
“Outside Area”
Any city, village or fire district, town fire protection district or town fire alarm district which either does not have its own fire department or an
incorporated fire company located within its boundaries, and is protected pursuant to a fire protection contract.
