Smithfield Fire Department provide cooperative insurance that would cover a fire that starts on private property and goes into state property known as the CWPP program. CWPP Program Can be paid by manual work, buying. Our participation in the program would be $400. To come over to the program we wouldn't have to do much there are extra funda available through Smithfield. Benefits are if the was a fire the state would be more willing to use their resources to help with it.
