This new system determines what residents will pay for the fire protection portion of their homeowners insurance. 

ISO-- Insurance Services Office, Inc. Established a Public Protection Classification system 

Public Protection Classification is the rating an area receives. The best rating is 1 and worst rating is 10.

Areas with mixed urban and rural receive two ratings. Under this new policy Little York  is rated 6.  

The schedule measures the major elements of a fire district or city’s fire suppression system.

The classification is divided into three major sections. These are; the fire department organization

in the area; the water supply in the area; and how fire alarms are received and handled for the community.

 Each section is weighted in the finial summary. Water supplies make up 40% of the available credit.

Fire department operations account for 50% of the credit. Receiving and handling fire alarms accounts

for 10% of the available credit.
