ISO’s Public Protection Classification program provides fire protection ratings for communities throughout the United States. In addition to providing standards for evaluating a fire department’s capabilities, a community’s rating can impact fire insurance premiums for property owners.
On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 representing superior property fire protection, the City of Petaluma’s current rating (effective August 1, 2020) is Class 2/2X. We are proud of this achievement, as a Class 2 rating or better typically is awarded to fewer than 5% of communities nationwide.
