(SBM) Fire Department

ISO Ratings
Insurance Services Organization Ratings
The rating "reflects a community's local fire protection for property insurance rating
purposes."'
Through "Public Protection Classification (PPC), ISO may create a rating
of 1-101 Class 1 being the best.2
"Most U.S. insurers of home and business properties use ISO's PPC in calculating
premiums."
Due to location of functioning municipal water supply and existing
fire departments, the response time and the equipment
responding will not likely greatly influence the rating.
Recommendations
o Council Discussion & Questions
o- Direct Staff to prepare drafts of Automatic Aid
Agreements for approval at the next City Council
Meeting.
