Sincerely, <br />cc: <br />• Communities graded with single “9” or “8B” classifications will remain intact. <br />• Properties over 5 road miles from a recognized fire station would receive a class 10. <br />PPC is important to communities and fire departments as well. Communities whose PPC improves <br />may get lower insurance prices. PPC also provides fire departments with a valuable benchmark, <br />and is used by many departments as a valuable tool when planning, budgeting and justifying fire <br />protection improvements. <br />Alex Shubert <br />Ms. Darlene Pankonie, Communications Manager, Washington County Communications Center <br />Mr. Greg Malmquist, Chief, Lake Elmo Fire Department <br />If you have any questions about your classification, please let us know. <br />Alex Shubert <br />ISO is the leading supplier of data and analytics for the property/casualty insurance industry. Most <br />insurers use PPC classifications for underwriting and calculating premiums for residential, <br />commercial and industrial properties. The PPC program is not intended to analyze all aspects of a <br />comprehensive structural fire suppression delivery system program. It is not for purposes of <br />determining compliance with any state or local law, nor is it for making loss prevention or life <br />safety recommendations. <br />Manager -National Processing Center <br />ISO appreciates the high level of cooperation extended by local officials during the entire PPC <br />survey process. The community protection baseline information gathered by ISO is an essential <br />foundation upon which determination of the relative level of fire protection is made using the Fire <br />Suppression Rating Schedule. <br />The classification is a direct result of the information gathered, and is dependent on the resource <br />levels devoted to fire protection in existence at the time of survey. Material changes in those <br />resources that occur after the survey is completed may affect the classification. Although ISO <br />maintains a pro-active process to keep baseline information as current as possible, in the event of <br />changes please call us at 1-800-444-4554, option 2 to expedite the update activity. <br />Mr. Todd Pierce, Maintenance Supervisor, Cimarron Park Water Deparment <br />Mr. Marty Powers, Public Works Director, Lake Elmo
