It offers tailored coverage to meet the unique risks and responsibilities these organizations face in serving their communities.

Coverage can often be customized based on the size, scope, and services of the organization.

- Intentional acts or criminal behavior
- Pollution not caused by a covered event
- Wear and tear or gradual deterioration of equipment
- Non-disclosed or misrepresented risks
Always review your policy documents to understand what is and isn’t covered.
Factors that influence cost
The cost of coverage under the Fire/MuniPro Public Sector Program can depend on several factors, including:

- Types of services provided
- Property and vehicle values
- Claims history

Each policy is tailored, so premiums will vary accordingly.
Proof of insurance & compliance
