The Insurance Services Office (ISO) has
recently completed an analysis of the structural fire suppression
delivery systems provided within the Lisle-Woodridge Fire Protection
District. According to Fire Chief Tom Freeman the Fire District
Public Protection Classification has been maintained at Class 1.
This is the best classification awarded by the ISO. This
classification applies to all properties protected by the
Lisle-Woodridge Fire District in the Village of Lisle, the Village
of Woodridge, and Lisle, DuPage and Milton Townships in DuPage and
Will counties.
ISO is the leading supplier of data and
analytics for the property/casualty insurance industry. Insurers use
the Public Protection Classifications (PPC) for underwriting and
calculating premiums for residential, commercial and industrial
properties. ISO’s staff collects information about municipal fire
suppression efforts in communities throughout the United States.
The analysis resulted in higher scores and
credits given to the various components of the Lisle-Woodridge Fire
Protection District evaluation than in previous surveys conducted by
the ISO. The Fire Suppression Rating Schedule reviews engine and
ladder service fire companies, the equipment carried, responses to
fires, training, and number of available firefighters.
Given the close scrutiny to detail of the ISO
and its regular re-survey program of over 44,000 communities across
the country, Chief Freeman, on behalf of the Board of Trustees and
Fire Commissioners, indicated that the maintenance of the
prestigious ISO Class 1 is “a significant accomplishment of which
the residents and property owners of the Lisle-Woodridge Fire
Protection District can be proud.”
