The Insurance Services Office (ISO) evaluates fire departments nationwide, assigning Public Protection Classification (PPC) ratings from 1 to 10, with "1" representing the highest level of fire protection. These ratings influence property insurance premiums, as a better rating can lead to lower costs for homeowners and businesses.
