North Carolina, South Carolina and Ohio have been added to RiskMeter Online’s Distance to Fire Station Report. CDS Business Mapping, an online property risk mapping provider now lists 25 states in its data.
Headquartered in Boston, CDS Business Mapping’s RiskMeter Online uses routing technology to determine the three closest fire stations. By simply typing in an address users can obtain a detailed report that returns: drive distance to responding fire stations, names of the stations and staffing (career or volunteer). RiskMeter has turned a process that once used to be error-prone and time- consuming into one that takes a matter of seconds.
“Regardless of the training, personnel or equipment at a station, if an insured location is greater than five miles from a station, the chance of a large loss is inevitable,” James Munson, director of CDS Business Mapping’s Consulting Services explained “This report will immediately verify the distance from responding fire stations, and more importantly help carriers decide early in the underwriting process, whether a location is protected or not.”
