Have you heard of an Insurance Service Office (ISO) Rating? What does it mean and how does it effect you? ISO is a risk advisory company that rates communities based on their fire preparedness. Many insurance providers take the ISO’s rating into consideration when determining annual home premiums. ISO measures the community you live in and your local fire departments. ISO ratings range from 1 being the greatest to 10 being the worst.

The Gainesville Fire Department in Gainesville, Georgia has an ISO rating of a 1! This rating is the best of the best. IF that didn't impress you enough in order to keep the ISO 1 Rating in fact Gainesville Fire Department requires 240 hours of training per firefighter. With the City of Gainesville having a good ISO rating it directly effects your annual home insurance premiums in a positive way!

Thank a firefighter today for the countless hours of training they do to keep our city safe!
