Public Information
-
Fire Departments and Districts are inspected by ISO to determine its public protection classification. The classification plays an important role in the underwriting process at insurance companies. In fact, most U.S. insurers use the classification as part of their decision-making when deciding what business to write, coverages to offer or prices to charge for homeowner or commercial property insurance.
Classification ratings are Class 1 through 10, with 1 being the best rated. Class 10 is given to those areas that are more than 5 road miles from a fire station. The Guilford Fire Department ISO rating is 3XY.
