Council Update Ramsey Fire Department's Improvement to ISO Rating May Reduce Your Fire Insurance Premiums. Ramsey recently underwent a Public Protection Classification (PPC) survey by the Insurance Services Office (ISO). ISO uses this to evaluate fire departments in the United States. Based on this evaluation, ISO assigns the fire department a rating between 1 and 10; 1 being the best. This rating reflects the overall effectiveness of the department and helps determine the fire insurance premiums for property owners in that department's jurisdiction. The ISO rating considers three main areas of a community's fire suppression system: emergency communications, fire department (including operational considerations), and water supply. In addition, it includes a Community Risk Reduction section that recognizes community efforts to reduce losses through fire prevention, public fire safety education, and fire investigation. After the recent PPC survey,Ramsey's classification rating for its hydrant area was lowered to a 4! This has been Ramsey's lowest rating to date and will go into effect December 1, 2017. Check with your home insurance agent to inquire how this improvement to Ramsey's ISO rating may impact your insurance rate. Attached to the Weekly Update is a letter from ISO indicating the results of the recent Public Protection Classification (PPC)Survey. Mayor for a Day Essay Contest.
