City of Santa Ana hereby finds and declares that Santa Ana is an

well-trained personnel under outstanding leadership, equipped with
modern fire fighting equipment of all necessary kinds, and sufficiently
supplied with fire fighting chemicals, which said Department has access
to the Santa Ana water system maintained at high pressure; that the
excellence and adequacy of said Fire Department, its equipment,
chemicals, and personnel and the water system of the City, including
the reservoirs and mains and the pressure of the water supply for
fire fighting purposes, have been determined by the National Board

Standards, to be among the best in the State of California and the
best in Orange County, California, so that Santa Ana now has the
lowest fire insurance premium rate existing anywhere in this area;

to all property within the incorporated limits of the City and that
no additional benefit in fire protection is or would be received or
required by such property from structural fire protection given by
the County of Orange.
