ISO re-evaluated the WVFD
ISO has finally released their grading of the West Valley Volunteer Fire Department. I'm very pleased to Announce that we are now a ISO Class 2 Fire Department. The last time this department was graded was in 2005 to which we received a class 4 rating. Before that in 1998 we received a 6/9 rating. There are over 45,000 fire departments in the United States, which are paid and volunteer. Of this total number of fire departments only 57 are ISO Class 1. ISO Class 2 accounts for only 659 Departments. This has been a tremendous accomplishment for the Community, and will result in lower insurance rates for both residential and commercial owners in our coverage area. This change officially takes effect on 02/01/2013. Please feel free to print the attached form and submit to your insurance company to receive your reduced insurance premium.
close call on 12/08
After noticing the lights kept going off, after 3 resets of the breaker, the owner heard a buzzing sound and started to smell smoke. He called 911 and got outside. WVFD arrived and made entry to the attic. Fire was quickly extinguished before having a chance to consume the unprotected structural members.
