Fire Station Database Updates

ISO maintains a database of current and accurate information on the locations of fire stations and other resources for firefighting. The information is an important part of our Public Protection Classification (PPCTM) program, which evaluates public fire-suppression services in communities around the country.

Over the next few months, ISO will be updating our geographic database by verifying the latitude/longitude coordinates of fire stations. We plan to contact every community in the country as part of the effort.

This initiative is a key element in our outreach program that seeks to keep our database complete and correct.

Please note that this project is not part of a formal reevaluation of PPC gradings. Our focus now is simply to make sure we know the locations of all fire stations.

In certain areas of the country, we are asking fire departments to give us information for the project by filing out a Fire Station Database Updates Form. Please access the form, fill it out, and return it to ISO ONLY if we have asked you to do so.

If you have questions or concerns about the project, please send e-mail to hgibson@iso.com. You can also call us at 1-800-444-4554. Select option 2.
