Seymour Fire Department Scores an ISO Rating of 3

May 1, 2023

We are happy to announce Seymour has retained its ISO Rating of 3 and is very close to reaching the Level 2 Rating.

The ISO Rating of a fire department is one of the benchmarks a department uses to plan for future development, purchasing, and staffing needs. It is also the rating most insurance providers use when determining the rates they charge their customers.

Seymour Fire Department has worked diligently over the years to obtain a rating of 3, which less than 15% of the nearly 40,000 departments in the nation that are surveyed have. We just received our score from our latest survey. Although we retained our 3 rating, we vastly improved our score, so much that we feel a 2 rating is obtainable at our next survey in 5 years.

It is important to note the ratings are ranked from 10 being the worst to 1 being the best.

The score is obtained from three sources. Seymour Fire Department’s response capabilities make up 50% of the score, the water system provided by Indiana American Water makes up 40% of the score and the 911 Dispatch System operated by Seymour Police Department makes up the remaining 10%.

We would like to thank our fire officers and firefighters for the commitment they make to constantly improve themselves, and certainly our partners at SPD and Indiana American Water for their efforts in providing top notch service to our community.
