Homeowners Insurance Reduced Within 5 Miles of HLVFD Station: The
Holly Lake VFD was assigned a Property Protection Class (PPC) "5" that applies to all structures within
5 miles of the HLVFD station. This is a PPC that is usually reserved for fire departments that have
access to a municipal water hydrant system with viable water hydrants at least every 1,000 feet. The
HLVFD was able to demonstrate that they (and the neighboring automatic aid fire departments) could
meet the required water flow by using water tank trucks and approved dry hydrants and suction points on
the local spring fed lakes to refill the trucks in addition to the few actual water hydrants available. This
resulted in an approved alternative water supply to provide water for structure fires and lower insurance
rates. Make sure your insurance agent is aware of your PPC to get the best rate. This Letter from the
State confirming our PPC may be useful with your insurance company.

Raffle winners were announced at the awards dinner.
Carrie and Bob Burgoyne who live at Brookhaven won
the $2,500 Grand Prize. They had bought only “one”
ticket when the firefighters were selling raffle tickets at
Brookshires on a Saturday morning. The second and
third prizes were for a free four day stay with golf for four
at either Silver Leaf’s Holliday Hills in Branson, Mo. or at
Holly Lake. These were won by Mike Dunham and
Linda Norwood , who both live in Holly Lake. A special
thanks goes to all of the sponsors who voluntarily
contributed money and door prizes for the tournament.
Their contributions were essential to the tournament
operation and the department wants to give them special
recognition and hopes that people will support them with
their business for being an active member of the
community.
