The Fishers Fire and Emergency Services, which handles calls within the City of Fishers and areas outside the city under contracts with townships, has just had an upgrade to its Public Protection Classification (PPC)  evaluation from the Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO).  The score was elevated from a 4  to a score of 2.

The new rating may mean lower insurance rates within the area served by Fishers Fire and Emergency Services.  The higher score takes effect January 1, 2018.

“Improving from an ISO rating of 4 to a rating of 2, is another example of the City of Fishers’ commitment to provide the highest level of public safety services to the citizens of our community,” Fishers Fire Chief Steve Orusa said in a Fire Department news release.  “This achievement is the direct result of the hard work and dedication of our firefighters.”

In 2014, the agency was re-accredited by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI).  Nation-wide, less than one percent of all fire departments are internationally accredited.
