As of January 1, 2022, the Public Protection Classification of the Ward 4 Fire Protection District changed from Class 5 to Class 4. All commercial and residential properties should see decreased insurance rates as a result of this new classification.

Upon receiving a Class 5 following the district rating in 2021 , the Ward 4 FPD and Board of Commissioners worked diligently to address all recommendation suggested by the Property Insurance Association of Louisiana.

After implementing new practices where responses were concerned and outfitting apparatus to serve in the proper capacity, the district requested another rating in the hopes of regaining their prior status of Class 4.  A huge debt of gratitude is due to the work of retired Chief Scott Savage, the board of commissioners and the many volunteers that are dedicated to serving their community.
