On April 29, 2026, the Santa Rita Fire District Board approved Resolution 2026-03, authorizing an agreement with Securis Insurance Pool, Inc. to obtain workers’ compensation and employers’ liability insurance on a cooperative basis with other Arizona fire districts. This action makes Securis the chosen provider for these coverages under a pooling arrangement pursuant to A.R.S. 11-952.01(B). The main insurance procurement decision is therefore already made, limiting opportunity for competing carriers until the pool agreement is up for renewal or reconsideration. However, the new arrangement may create needs for safety training, risk management consulting, injury prevention programs, and claims management support to reduce losses and premiums. Vendors in safety services, wellness, and risk analytics can position complementary offerings that help the district and Securis improve outcomes under the new coverage.
