| Posted on February 1st, 2012 at 6:41:38 AM by Mayor Sherry E. Howard | On February 24th, the City of Tom Bean and TBVFD has scheduled a Fire Protection Rating Schedule with the Insurance Services Office (ISO). The national rating schedule is a local evaluation of public building size and locations, the receiving and handling of fire alarms, available water supply, and fire department staffing, equipment, training, and geographic locations. This evaluation leads to determining a Public Protection Classification or PPC. In 1995, Tom Bean was rated an "8" and we are hoping for a 4-5 rating after the review. Tom Bean's new PPC will affect most every home and business owner who live within five road miles from either Tom Bean Fire Department station and within 1000 feet of a fire hydrant.
Most insurance companies use a community’s PPC rating for marketing, underwriting, and to help establish fair premiums for homeowners and commercial fire insurance. In general, the price for fire insurance in a community with a good PPC is substantially lower than a community with a poor PPC, assuming all other factors are equal. A PPC rating is a number on a 1 to 10 scale. The lower the number, the better the area’s fire suppression program has been determined to be.
We will keep you updated on this $ savings to our citizens and outlying areas.
