Dear Sir:
We offer the following ~n answer to your telephone inquiry of this morning.
.
Our rat~ng schedule is very much aligned ~n favor of automatic sprinkler
systems when a property or fire insurance rating d~vision as defined by
our ratirig schedule is fully sprinklered with an adequate water supply.
In those cases, the rate credits are normally very substantial. This
is almost always the case whenever commercial and manufacturing occupancies
are concerned. However, there are a small number of exceptions.
We are willing to promulgate tentative rates on nonsprinklered properties
in your community contemplating the installation of automatic sprinkler
systems. These applications may be instituted by anyone of our affiliated
companies, insurance agents and insurance brokers or by the property owner.
It usually works best if the insurance company, agent, or broker is the
one generating the request as they are usually able to discuss and explain
our rates to their cl~ent.
The informat~on outl~ned in th~s letter is for the purpose of developing
a f~re insurance rate. It is not for the purpose of making property loss
prevention or l~fe safety recommendat~ons, and none are made.
If we can be of any further ass~stance, please feel free to call or write
to us any time.
Yours very truly,
