What is ISO?
The Insurance Services Office (ISO) use the Public Protection
Classification to gauge the ability of a local fire department to
respond to fires. A community's public fire protection information
is collected and analyzed by ISO using its Fire Suppression Rating
Schedule. A Classification of 1 to 10 is then assigned based upon
the results of the survey. Class 1 is the highest rating, and Class
10 is an indication of no fire protection.
How does the ISO rating affect me?
The ISO Public Protection Classification is used by the insurance
industry in determining insurance premiums for properties with the
community.
