Sending Elk River Assistant Chief to
Fire Suppression Rating Schedule
Seminar
The Elk River Fire Department will be preparing for an Insurance Service
Office (ISO) survey for our fire protection rating classification. The survey
will be for late 1997 or early 1998. The last survey to be completed for the
Elk River Fire Department was done in January, 1991. Normally a rating is
completed every seven years unless a request is made for an earlier date.
With the attendance at this seminar, we will receive all the information
needed to prepare our fire department for the next rating survey. We will be
able to complete a pre-survey of our strengths and weaknesses, and where
improvements need to be completed, prior to the actual ISO on-site survey.
I will be sending Rob Dreissig, Assistant Chief of the Elk River Fire
Department. Rob will head the committee that will prepare the Fire
Department for the ISO on-site survey. This seminar will provide Rob with
the information required to prepare our department for the next ISO Fire
Protection Rating Survey.
