What is an ISO Rating?
The Fire Suppression Rating Schedule
(FSRS) is the manual ISO uses in reviewing the fire-fighting
capabilities of individual communities. The
schedule measures the major elements of a community's fire-suppression system and
develops a numerical grading called a
Public Protection
Classification (PPCTM)
Here's how it works:
Fire alarms
Ten percent of the overall grading is based on how well the fire
department receives fire alarms and dispatches its fire-fighting
resources. Our field
representatives evaluate the communications
center, looking at the number of operators at the center; the
telephone service, including the number of
telephone lines
coming into the center; and the listing of emergency numbers in
the telephone book. Field representatives also look at the
dispatch
circuits and how the center notifies firefighters about
the location of the emergency.
Engine companies
Fifty percent of the overall grading is based on the number of
engine companies and the amount of water a community needs to
fight a fire. ISO
reviews the distribution of fire companies
throughout the area and checks that the fire department tests
its pumps regularly and inventories each
engine company's
nozzles, hoses, breathing apparatus, and other equipment.
ISO also reviews the fire-company records to determine:
- type and extent of training provided to fire-company personnel
- number of people who participate in training
- firefighter response to emergencies
- maintenance and testing of the fire department's equipment
Water supply
Forty percent of the grading is based on the community's water
supply. This part of the survey focuses on whether the community
has sufficient water
supply for fire suppression beyond daily
maximum consumption. ISO surveys all components of the water
supply system, including pumps, storage, and
filtration. To
determine the rate of flow the water mains provide, we observe
fire-flow tests at representative locations in the community.
Finally, we
evaluate the distribution of fire hydrants.
