ISO Rating
Effective February 1, 2005, the ISO rating given to the La Vista Volunteer Fire Department is a
Class 3.
ISO’s Public Protection Classification Program (PPC) evaluates communities according to a uniform set of criteria defined in the Fire Suppression Rate Schedule (FSRS). This criterion incorporates nationally recognized standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works Association.
Using the FSRS, ISO objectively reviews the fire suppression capabilities of a community and assigns a Public Protection Classification – 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 minimum recognition criteria.
