Natchitoches Parish Fire District 9 was recently surveyed by the Property Insurance Association of Louisiana (PIAL), which is responsible for grading all fire departments in the state.
At the time of the survey, the district held a Class 5 ISO rating. However, on March 29 the district received official notification by mail of an Insurance Classification Change.
Effective May 1, 2025, the rating improved and was reclassified as a Class 4 ISO rating. This change was expected to result in lower insurance premiums for homeowners in the district. Residents were encouraged to inform their insurance providers about the updated rating to take advantage of potential savings.
The firefighters of Fire District 9 worked diligently to maintain and improve the district’s fire rating, and their efforts were greatly appreciated by the community.
