The Weatherford Fire Department ISO rating places Weatherford in top 8.5 percent in Texas for fire protection


The City of Weatherford Fire Department ISO rating is a 2 for inside the city limits. For areas served outside the city limits by the Weatherford Fire Department, the rating is a 2Y.

These ratings may equate to insurance savings to residents and businesses that live within five miles of the nearest fire station. Residents and businesses that are within five miles, but do not have a fire hydrant within 1000 feet, may also receive an insurance savings. However, the savings may not be as high. 

ISO’s Public Protection Program (PPC) is the leading supplier of data and analytics for the property/casualty insurance industry. A community’s investment in fire mitigation is a proven and reliable predictor of future fires losses. Insurance companies use PPC information for marketing, underwriting and to help establish fair premiums for homeowners and commercial fire insurance. 

 The City of Weatherford Fire Department cannot guarantee that residents and businesses will receive lower fire insurance premiums and are encouraged to call their insurance provider to inquire. 

About ISO

  • ISO is an independent organization that measures the quality of public fire protection on which insurance premiums are based. 
  • ISO provides insurance companies, insurance regulators and fire departments, with the data they collect about fire risk in their communities. 
  • ISO employees visit thousands of fire districts each year in effort to review the firefighting capability and adequacy of water systems in those communities. *ISO analyzes the relevant data and assigns a Public Protection Classification (PPC); A number from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents exemplary fire protection, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire-suppression program does not meet ISO's minimum criteria.
