ISO Classification Overview

The Insurance Services Office evaluates community fire protection capabilities through its Public Protection Classification program. Ratings range from Class 1 to Class 10, with Class 1 representing the highest recognized level of service. The City of Denison received notification of this top rating in August 2023.

Resolution Details and Purpose

Council members will receive a report and discuss a resolution acknowledging the achievement. The proposed action formally recognizes the city's Class 1 designation, which became effective January 1, 2024. Officials note the classification highlights exceptional fire protection and emergency services provided to residents.

Impact on Property Insurance

Insurance providers may consider the new rating when calculating property insurance premiums. The resolution explicitly states that premium reductions are not guaranteed, as companies set rates based on individual policies and rating practices. Residents and business owners are encouraged to contact their agents using the official city document as reference material.
