🚒 BIG NEWS FOR WHITEHALL FIRE COMPANY! 🚒
We are proud to announce that Whitehall Fire Company has earned an ISO Class 3 rating, effective February 2027!
This achievement represents a major milestone for our fire company and the community we proudly serve. Of nearly 47,000 fire departments that participate in the PPC program, only 3,826 have an ISO Class 3 rating. This is an important number to know when seeking out homeowners or commercial property insurance.
What is an ISO rating, and why does it matter?
ISO, or the Insurance Services Office, evaluates a community’s fire protection capabilities through its Public Protection Classification (PPC) program. Classifications range from Class 1 to Class 10, with Class 1 representing the highest level of fire protection. Less than 1 percent of all fire protection agencies obtain a class 1.
The evaluation considers several important factors, including firefighter training and staffing, equipment and apparatus, emergency communications, water supply, and fire prevention efforts.
FIVE YEARS OF HARD WORK. ONE INCREDIBLE ACHIEVEMENT.
This success did not happen overnight. It took dedication, teamwork, accountability, and a shared commitment to continually improving the services we provide to our community.
We are incredibly proud of the progress our members have made and grateful for everyone who has contributed their time, effort, and expertise along the way. This accomplishment belongs to every member who has played a part in making Whitehall Fire Company stronger.
We would also like to thank our community for its continued trust and support. Your support helps make achievements like this possible.
An ISO Class 3 rating is more than a number. It is a reflection of our commitment to preparedness, continuous improvement, and protecting the lives and property of the people we serve.
As we look ahead to February 2027, we celebrate this milestone while remaining focused on the work that lies ahead. Whitehall Fire Company will continue striving to provide the highest possible level of fire protection to our community.
