Excerpts from westchicago.org: The West Chicago Fire Protection District is excited to announce that it has been awarded an ISO Class 2 rating. This improvement could lead to lower homeowners' insurance premiums starting July 1st. The Insurance Services Office (ISO) evaluates and rates municipal services every five years, and its ratings are widely used by insurance companies when setting fire insurance rates across the country. Fire departments are rated on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the highest and most favorable rating. In 2011, the West Chicago Fire Protection District had an ISO Class 3 rating. Now, with this new Class 2 rating, the district is among the top 3.1% of all fire departments nationwide — out of 44,672 total departments, only 1,393 have achieved a Class 2 or better. The ISO assesses various aspects of a community’s fire protection system, including emergency response times, water supply, fire equipment, training programs, prevention efforts, and overall operations. These factors play a key role in determining the Public Protection Classification (PPC), which directly influences insurance premiums. Communities with strong fire suppression systems typically experience fewer losses, and the PPC program helps ensure that local fire departments are well-prepared to respond to emergencies effectively. The West Chicago Fire Protection District is a career-based department, employing 41 full-time firefighters and 12 contract firefighter/paramedics. In total, the department has 57 staff members, including support personnel, fire prevention officers, and administrative staff. Currently, the department is working on several improvements aimed at achieving an ISO Class 1 rating in the next review cycle. Some of these initiatives include the construction of a new training facility and a multi-story burn tower, enhanced documentation of training hours for each subject, and the development of pre-incident plans for all businesses within the district. More upgrades are planned over the next five years to further strengthen their fire protection capabilities and improve their ISO rating.
