How the Public Protection Classification (PPC) Rating is Determined

ISO’s PPC program evaluates communities according to a uniform set of three major criteria classifications: fire alarm and communications system; fire department; and water supply system. ISO objectively reviews the fire suppression capabilities of a community and assigns a PPC between 1 and 10. Class 1 represents exemplary fire protection, and Class 10 indicates that the area’s fire suppression program does not meet minimum recognition criteria.

Mauston’s fire department scored as follows in each of the three categories:

Fire alarm and communications system 6.25 of possible 10 credits

Fire department organization/structure 29.89 of possible 50 credits

Water supply 37.30 of possible 40 credits
