Burnet at top of the list for fire rating status

The city of Burnet recently underwent a fire protection survey conducted by the Insurance Services Office (ISO), and I’m pleased to report that we have maintained our classification as a Public Protection Class 02/2X.

Less that 2% of cities nationwide receive an ISO rating of 2 or better. This rating reflects the current resources dedicated to fire protection in our city, and it plays an important role in determining insurance rates for homes and businesses.

For those unfamiliar, an ISO rating is a score from 1 to 10 that measures how well a community is equipped to respond to fires.
