Recovery service provider to recover partially the expense of working vehicle accidents, hazardous
material incidents and false alarm calls.
ITEM BACKGROUND: In an effort to reduce impact to the taxpayer we are looking for alternative
funding sources. A user based system files claims with insurance companies. Cost recovery from
insurance companies can be an effective strategy in assisting fire departments in maintaining
adequate budgets. It is estimated that 40-85% of our vehicle accidents involve non residents.
