CURRENT PUBLIC PROTECTION CLASSIFICATION:

CLASS 3

Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) evaluates communities using a uniform set of criteria as part of the Public Protection Classification (PPC) Program.  ISO reviews the fire suppression capabilities of a community and assigns a Public Protection Classification.  This classification is represented by the assignment of a number between 1 and 10.  Class 1 being the highest rating and Class 10 indicating the area’s fire protection capability does not meet minimum criteria.  This process evaluates three major components:

Fire alarm and communication system
Fire Department distribution of resources, equipment, apparatus, pump capacity, staffing, and training
Water Supply System

ISO conducted a PPC survey for Temple Terrace Fire Department in 2006.  This survey resulted in the department’s classification being lowered from a Class 4 to a Class 3. TTFD was congratulated by ISO for their commitment to serve the needs of the community’s property owners and residents.
