The Bloomingdale Fire Protection District No. 1 was recently re-evaluated by the Insurance Services Office (ISO). ISO's staff collects information from over 48,000 municipal fire departments and fire protection districts throughout the United States. The data is analyzed and assigned a Public Protection Classification (PPC) — a number from 1 to 10 (1 is the highest). A community’s Public Protection Classification is based on the three main areas of a community’s fire protection capabilities: emergency communications, fire department operational considerations, and water supply. In addition, it includes a community risk reduction section that recognizes community efforts to reduce losses through fire prevention, public fire safety education, and fire investigation. Many insurance companies use this information to help determine their customer’s property insurance premiums.
On September 25, 2023, the Bloomingdale Fire Protection District was once again awarded a Public Protection Class (PPC) score of “1”. This places Bloomingdale in the top one percent of all fire departments in the United States for its ability to respond to emergencies. Bloomingdale is one of four hundred and ninety-eight fire agencies in the country to be recognized as ISO 1.
This achievement, of the Class 1 rating, demonstrates the professionalism of all fire district members and their commitment to providing the highest level of service to our community. The staff of the Bloomingdale Fire Protection District put forth a significant amount of time and effort into making this re-evaluation process a success. A special “Thank You” to the personnel of the public works departments, DuComm, and our neighboring fire departments for their assistance in providing important services that contributed to maintaining our ISO 1 rating.
