ISO Rating 3The Midway Fire
District was recently re-graded by ISO officials
and has received a Public Protection Rating of a 3
to be effective September 1, 2008.
The previous rating was a 5/9 split class. ISO (Insurance Services Office) is a third party
industry funded by U.S. property insurance
companies sent in to assess a community's risk and preparedness
through the Public Protection Classification (PPC)
program. Most insurance companies use the PPC to
help establish premiums for fire insurance.
Generally speaking, a lower classification
resulting from better fire protection, usually
results in lower insurance premiums. The PPC program
expert staff collect data from 3 key elements of
the jurisdiction. The areas evaluated include: the fire
department in general,
communications, and
the water supply available for use. The data is then
analyzed and a rating is assessed.
Midway Fire District continuously
strives to provide quality services to its citizens.
