Florence Professional Firefighters

The Florence Professional Firefighters are pleased to announce the results of three years of hard work by its members.  A recent decision by the Insurance Services Office (ISO) has determined that the City of Florence will improve its ISO rating from a Class 3 to a Class 2 rating.  This will put the City into the top 1% of the fire department ratings across the country.

The Florence Fire Protection District will improve its ISO rating from a Class 9 to a Class 3.

These ratings will go into effect on July 1, 2008 and will substantially lower the insurance costs of the property owners in the City of Florence and the Florence Fire Protection District.

The last ISO rating the City of Florence Fire/EMS Department received was completed in 1995, so this rating review was long overdue.  It was completed by the hard work of the members of the Florence Professional Firefighters completing hydrant testing, preplan surveys and various other requirements in order to improve this rating.
