Special Notes:

The fund has a small number of persons receiving benefit. The fund receives a distribution of the one-half of one percent tax on annual fire insurance premiums paid in the Winston-Salem fire district from the N. C. State Insurance Commissioner’s Office. The Firemen’s Relief Fund Board of Trustees transfers the largest portion of the insurance premium tax to the Winston-Salem Firemen’s Retirement Fund Association, a private association of members of the Winston-Salem Fire Department that has no relationship with the City of Winston-Salem. Although the Mayor and City Council of the City of Winston-Salem appoint two members to the five member Board of Trustees, the Firemen’s Relief Fund is not considered an entity of the City of Winston-Salem.
