The Louisiana Department of Insurance recently announced the improvement of Sarepta Fire District 5 from Class 5 to Class 4 rating.
Effective December 12, homeowners in District 5, "can expect significant rate reductions in their fire insurance premiums," said Commissioner of Insurance Jim Donelon.
Donelon commended firefighters and local officials for the improvement of their fire protection grading.
A roll of the dice may have been the deciding factor in the death of one Minden man and imprisonment of another.
