Gainesville's Fire Rescue is giving businesses who have taken measures to safeguard their properties a financial break.
Buildings that have state approved sprinkler systems are eligible for a ten percent credit on the city-wide fire assessment fee.
The fee was approved last July by commissioners to help cover GFR's operational costs without cutting services.
The application process requires some extensive paperwork so GFR recommends businesses apply sooner rather than later by picking up a form at City Hall, or going on line to submit their request.
Last year over one thousand businesses received the credit.
The application is due on June first.
