Iknow the answer.

I asked my insurance agent if my home owners rates would go up if the town eliminated a fire company in boston. I would suggest all town residents who actually pay property taxes in town call there agent and ask the same question.

the answer was NO. The town of Boston is over protected according to my insurance agent and my rates would not be affected with the closing of one company.

I also read the Poloncarz report on Emergency Services which also reports the Town of Boston is over protected based on area covered, number of trucks and volunteers.
