Public Protection Classification Number <br /> The PPC number assigned to the community will depend on the community's score on a 100- <br /> point scale: <br /> PPC Points <br /> 1 90.00 or more <br /> 2 80.00 to 89.99 <br /> 3 70.00 to 79.99 <br /> 4 60.00 to 69.99 <br /> 5 50.00 to 59.99 <br /> 6 40.00 to 49.99 <br /> 7 30.00 to 39.99 <br /> 8 20.00 to 29.99 <br /> 9 10.00 to 19.99 <br /> 10 0.00 to 9.99 <br /> The classification numbers are interpreted as follows: <br /> • Class 1 through (and including) Class 8 represents a fire suppression system that <br /> includes an FSRS creditable dispatch center,fire department and water supply. <br /> • Class 86 is a special classification that recognizes a superior level of fire <br /> protection in otherwise Class 9 areas. It is designed to represent a fire protection <br /> delivery system that is superior except for a lack of a water supply system <br /> capable of the minimum FSRS fire flow criteria of 250 gpm for 2-hours. <br /> • Class 9 is a fire suppression system that includes a creditable dispatch center,fire <br /> department but no FSRS creditable water supply. <br /> • Class 10 does not meet minimum FSRS criteria for recognition. <br /> ISO develops a single Public Protection Classification for a community when 85% or <br /> more of the buildable area is served by a water supply capable of delivering 250 gpm of <br /> fire flow, uninterrupted, for a minimum period of 2-hours, and there are no areas beyond <br /> 5 road miles of the responding fire station. Under this condition, all of the structures in <br /> the community receive that classification. Over 60% of the communities ISO has <br /> evaluated do not have this capability, so ISO develops a split classification (for example, <br /> 5/9). When a split classification is published the first class (Class 5 in the example) <br /> applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet <br /> of a fire hydrant. The second class (Class 9 in the example) applies to properties within <br /> 5 road miles of a recognized fire station but beyond 1,000 feet of a hydrant. ISO <br /> generally assigns Class 10 to properties beyond 5 road miles. <br /> 050 Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 3 L I <br />
