Homeowner's Property Fire Insurance Rates

STSS is an accreditation awarded by the Fire Underwriters Survey, recognizing a rural fire department's ability to supply water to the scene of a fire in volumes equivalent to hydrant water supply. This service is provided when a fire department can prove, by means of testing and documentation, that it can proficiently shuttle water to a scene using tanker trucks.
