The City of Bowie Fire Department has been informed it can expect a 2023 Public Protection Classification of 2/2X in August following a Nov. 9, 2022 review of the community.
Fire Chief Doug Page said the letter arrived from the State Fire Marshal’s Office explaining the rating, which maintains virtually the same rating Bowie has now which is class 02/2Y. This was the first review of the city since 2017.
City officials are very pleased to see the rating has been maintained. All property owners within the city limits fall into this rating.
Page said just outside the city limits is rated 8B (Bowie Rural Fire District) and more than five miles out from the Bowie Rural station it goes up to 10. Much of this relates to water availability.

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
