This Insurance Service Office (ISO) is the primary provider of insurance underwriting information to the property insurance industry in the United States.  ISO collects data and assigns a public protection classification (PPC) rating of 1 – 10.  Class 1 represents the best possible public protection.

The formulas insurance companies use to calculate rates are complex and ever changing.  The amount a PPC score impacts your rates varies by insurer. But in general, a lower number equates to lower rates.

Within the diversity of our district, factors like a property’s distance from our stations  influence the rating. Our department's capabilities and the proximity of our mutual aid partners play a role as well.   Adair Fire evaluates all decisions in the best interest of improving the district’s ISO PPC rating with our available resources.
