I have heard that something called an ISO rating can affect the  cost of my homeowners insurance. What is this ISO rating I hear being discussed?

     

Each community is evaluated on the basis of many factors for their ability to prevent and combat fires in their area. The testing agency is the I nsurance S ervices O ffice. The ISO number is a "score"  that represents a communities readiness to prevent and combat fires. The lower the number, the better. Your FGFD 

        continues to work hard to maintain the lowest rating possible.
