Improved ISO Rating Allows Residents a Fire Insurance Cost Reduction

The City of Conroe Fire Department has improved its ISO rating to two (2) from four (4).  The residential property owners within 5 road-miles of a City of Conroe Fire Station and 1000 feet of a fire hydrant could save up to 12% on their homeowner's insurance.  Commercial property owners within 5 road-miles of a City of Conroe Fire Station and 1000 feet of a fire hydrant may see as high as an 11% savings on their property insurance.

The new ISO rating takes effect July 1, 2009.  Chief Kreger said residents and commercial customers should notify their respective insurance companies regarding the improved City rating and the potential insurance discounts.

The insurance Services Offices (ISO) provides insurance companies reliable, up-to-date information about a municipality's fire protection services to help establish appropriate fire insurance premiums for residential and commercial properties.  Communities are rated on a scale of 1 to 10, with one being the best rating obtained.  Our department diligently worked during 2008 to achieve the required ISO evaluation benchmarks in order to provide our citizens with the potential fire insurance savings.  

The City of Conroe has been committed to keeping their community safe.  They have accomplished this by providing the area with a professional fire service, reliable fire apparatus and equipment, ample water supplies, good communications, and a structured building and fire code department.
