ISO re-evaluated the WVFD
The WVFD has voluntarily asked for re-evaluation by the ISO. They came out the first week in January. We are attempting to go from a class 4 Fire Department rating to a class 3. This will further lower insurance premiums for our home and business owners, and also place our department in the top 6 percent of ALL fire departments nationwide both paid and volunteer. Commercial occupancies will see a 9% reduction and residential occupancies will see a 3% reduction if we drop 1 point in the survey. Stay tuned, results will be made public by April 2012
