ISO Fire Rating

Copley Fire Department has earned a Class 2 Public Protection Classification (PPC™ ) rating. This rating system is applied to fire departments nationwide as determined by The Insurance Services Office (ISO) Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). ISO is a risk advisory company owned by Verisk Analytics that rates communities based on their fire preparedness. It isn't related to your home or business, but rather the community you live in and your local fire department.

 

ISO assigns its rating using the FSRS, which sorts communities into Classes 1 through 10, with Class 1 being the best and Class 10 being the worst. The total score used to determine a community's class is based on four major areas: the fire department, water supply, emergency communications, and community risk reduction.

 

Insurance companies consider various factors when calculating home and commercial insurance premiums, including a community's ISO fire rating. A low number contributes to lower insurance premiums for residents and businesses in Copley Township.
