Did you know that one of the factors that identify the cost of your premiums is how well your city handles fires?
The closer you live to a fire station and the better your state deals with fires, the lower your home insurance premiums will be. For example, if you live in a state with a professional fire department rather than a volunteer fire department, you are very likely to have lower premiums.
Your city does, in fact, get graded. The Insurance Services Office (ISO) measures the following:
The community's phone system
Fire-fighting equipment
Water supply
Fire-protection class
Professional or non-professional fire stations
Your state's current number of deaths caused by fire
The quality of fire departments
Number of fire stations
Amount of equipment that the fire stations have
Number of operators to handle calls
Did you know that you are responsible for knowing your fire-protection class? It's true, you are. Keep in mind that your insurance company is not responsible for telling you when the state of your fire-protection class. You can find that out on your own, if you wish to know the status of your state when it comes to fire-fighting ability.
