ISO Fire Ratings

Many people need to be made aware of ISO Fire Ratings. ISO (Insurance Services Office) is a company that creates ratings for fire districts and their surrounding communities.  These ratings reflect how well-equipped a fire district is to put out fires. The score is primarily based on the fire district's water supply, but other factors determine the score.

​

The ISO score is on a scale of 1-10 and indicates how protected your community is by the local fire department. A one is the best possible rating, while a ten means the fire department did not meet ISO's minimum requirements.

If you reside within five miles of a recognized fire station, the protection class is a 3.  If beyond five miles of a recognized fire station, the protection class is a 10.
