🚨 Big News for Highlands! 🚨

We’re proud to share that Highlands Fire Department has improved our ISO rating from a 4 to a 2! 🎉

This improvement reflects the hard work, training, and dedication of our members to better serve and protect our community. A lower ISO rating can also help homeowners and businesses potentially save on insurance premiums.
