Resources Conservation and
Development Council
NRCS worked with the seven RC&D councils to increase and expand funding for rural development programs.
Arkansas, being predominately a rural state, relies on volunteer fire departments for residential fire protection.
More than 720 volunteer fire departments from across the state are
participating in the Rural Fire Protection Program and have a master fire plan.
Of these, 248 fire departments have lowered their insurance ratings since 1996.
More than 230,000 residential homes have benefited.
Current insurance premium savings are estimated at more than $34 million annually.
