TYLER FIRE FIRST CLASS RATING RETURNS COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

After a decade of preparation and assessment, the new Class 1 rating by the Insurance Services Office (ISO) puts Tyler Fire in the top two percent of all rated fire departments in Texas and the top one percent of about 46,000 communities in the U.S.

The rating is a stimulus for homeowners and business owners in the City of Tyler because it affects the price of insurance premiums.

This improved score leads to a reduction in insurance premiums for both residents and businesses within the City.

The ISO ratings assess the readiness of local fire departments by classifying a community’s ability to suppress a fire.
