How our score is broken down

The Insurance Services Office (ISO) rates fire departments across the Country on a 1-10 rating system that is indicative of the department’s ability to suppress structure fires.  The lower your score the better.

There are three main criteria that the scoring system looks at:

10% of the score comes from the capabilities of the dispatch center and the type of communication system that you have.

40% of the score comes from a review of the water supply system.

50% of the score comes from a review of the fire department’s first alarm response and initial attack capabilities to minimize potential loses.
