Fire Department

• ISO Class 1

The ISO Class 1 rating is the highest possible score that can be given to any fire department nationwide. Throughout the United States, there are only 329 departments that are a class 1 and only 32 in Florida. There are over 47,000 fire departments in the country. Most U.S. insurers of home and business properties use the ISO’s PPC in calculating premiums. In general, the price of insurance in a community with a good PPC is lower than in a community with a poor PPC, assuming all other factors are equal.
