The Insurance Services Office(ISO), is an organization that provides property and casualty insurance risk information to insurance companies. The Public Protection Classification (PPC) program is a community fire protection scoring system based on a Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS) used by the Insurance Services Office.

Communities get a PPC score from 1 to 10.

• 1 means the community has superior property fire protection.
• 10 means the community’s fire protection efforts don’t meet ISO’s minimum criteria.

Most home and business insurers use PPC scores to determine insurance premiums. Businesses and individuals in a community with a good PPC score typically pay less for fire insurance.
