Fire Insurance Rating

The Public Protection Classification is a nationwide system used by the Insurance Service Office to grade a community’s fire services on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the highest score. Rating is based on a number of factors, including training, staffing, number of fire stations, equipment dispatched to fires, equipment on trucks, fire prevention, investigation, fire safety education, construction code enforcement, hydrant maintenance, water supply, and the ability of the 9-1-1 call center to answer and dispatch calls.

Data Source: The City's ISO rating (insurance rating) is assigned by the Insurance Services Office (ISO), an advisory organization that services the property and casualty insurance industry.
