ISO Rating

ISO 2024 Report

The Monticello City Fire Department received an ISO rating of 5.

 TISO's PPC program evaluates communities according to a uniform set of criteria, incorporating nationally recognized standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works Association.

A community's PPC grade depends on:

Needed Fire Flows: which are representative building locations used to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes. 

Emergency Communications: including emergency reporting, telecommunicators, and dispatching systems. 
Fire Department: including equipment, staffing, training, geographic distribution of fire companies, operational considerations, and community risk reduction.

Water Supply: including inspection and flow testing of hydrants, alternative water supply operations, and a careful evaluation of the amount of available water compared with the amount needed to suppress fires up to 3,500 GPM. 


ISO fire ratings can lower your insurance premiums. Call your insurance company and let them know the ISO rating; it may help reduce your premiums.
