Insurance Service Organization Rating

In mid 2001, after a vigorous and detailed inspection by the Insurance Service Organizations (ISO), Hopkins Hill Fire Department's rating was changed from Class 5 to Class 3, a significant improvement in rating and the best rating in Coventry. 

Insurance companies use, among other information, ratings of local fire departments to help to determine their risk of insuring against fire in any given locality. As a result of this improved rating, fire district residents may enjoy lower insurance rates in the future.

The ratings are done every 15 to 18 years. Fire departments are visited by ISO personnel and subjected to a thorough review and the rating, from Class 1 to Class 10, a 1 being the best rating, is determined.  

This new rating is the result of the ongoing and diligent efforts of all the personnel of Hopkins Hill Fire Department.
