What Is ISO?

ISO stands for Insurance Services Office, and it creates ratings for fire departments and their surrounding communities. These ratings calculate how well-equipped fire departments are to extinguish fire in that district or city.

An ISO fire rating is a score provided to fire departments and insurance companies by the Insurance Services Office. The score reflects how prepared a community and area is for fires. While it mainly focuses on the local fire departments and water supply, there are other factors that contribute to an area’s score. Fire departments account for 50% of the overall score issued to any certain area. These ratings and reports generated are sent to area home insurance companies to assist them with rate calculations.

Grading Scale: A score of 01 represents the highest rating, and a score of 10 is the lowest score that can be given.
