Orland Fire Retains It’s ISO 1 Rating! The Orland Fire Protection District is proud to announce that effective 2/1/24, it will again have been awarded, for a second time, the coveted ISO Class 1 Public Protection Classification (PPC) rating by the Insurance Services Office (ISO). The Orland Fire Protection District again joins 1 of approx. 388 Fire Departments nationwide—out of roughly 40,000 fire departments—to receive an ISO Class 1 rating. This is thetop rating awarded to any community. More specifically, an ISO Class 1 rating represents an exemplary fire suppression program. It is reviewed through the Public Protection Classification® program. ISO's purpose is to help communities evaluate their public fireprotection services in order to be held to high national standards.

Thanks to Verisk's representatives Randy Downs and Irene Tiscareno for traveling to the OFPD this a.m. to present us with our plaque. Also thanks to Orland Park Village Manager George Koczwara and Orland Fire Commissioner DJ Jeffers for attending this presentation. Many thanks to the Village of Orland Park and the Village of Orland Hills who, without their support, we would not be able to maintain this exemplary rating!
