Baird, County Administrator FROM: John King,Director ��'` Department of Emer ncy ervices DATE: February 10, 2015 SUBJECT: Emergency Services District Capital Improvements It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be given formal consideration by the District Board of Commissioners at the next scheduled meeting. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: In December 2014,the Board approved to amend the Five-Year Capital Improvement Element(CIE) of the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan reaffirming their commitment to accelerate capital projects that have been deferred in recent years due to the recession. Given these changes in circumstances,the Board requested a staff report regarding the scheduled renovation of Fire-Rescue Station 7 (1215 82nd Avenue,Vero Beach) and the near-term construction of two additional fire- rescue service locations. The Board has been very supportive of staff's efforts to replace aging vehicles,repair facilities and move forward with deferred capital projects. Within the past year,the Board authorized: • The replacement of roofs at Fire-Rescue Station 10 (62 North Broadway, Felismere) and. Station 11 (2555 93rd Street,Vero Beach).Additionally,the County Risk Management Office solicited bids and hired Contract Services, a professional remediation company, to repair/replace any reasonable Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)concern(s). •_ Work Order No. 1 to Barth Construction for design development, working drawings and project schedule for renovations at Fire-Rescue Station 1 (1500 Old Dixie Highway, Vero Beach). • Work Order No. 3 to Barth Construction for Station 13 (4th Street and 43rd Avenue, Vero Beach)for site work to remedy stormwater drainage conflicts with the existing County water lines buried adjacent to 4th Street. • Work Order No. 1 to Barth Construction for design development, working drawings and project schedule for Fire-Rescue Station 14(near 26th Street and 66th Avenue,Vero Beach). 256 Where are we now? Fire-Rescue Station 7 The Station 7 property is a.5 acre tract of land located at 1215 82°d Avenue,Vero Beach.The South Indian River County Fire District received the property as a Village Green Development of Regional Impact stipulation.In 1984,the facility became operational with three personnel on-duty. Since that time, daily staffing has increased to one ALS ambulance and one ALS engine for a total of five on- duty emergency responders. Today,as it was thirty years ago,Station 7 is the only fire-rescue station west of 43rd Avenue in the southern portion of the County.From a service delivery perspective,it is the fourth busiest station in the District. Their primary response area is from the 6200 block of SR 60 and extends west to the Florida Turnpike. While the Capital Improvement Plan allocates funding this year for a substantive renovation of the facility, staff is taking a longer-term view of service delivery locations. Fire-Rescue Station 13 In early 2004,staff received conceptual approval to acquire land and begin the construction process for Station 13.The aftermath of the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons required staff to redirect capital improvement and reserve funds to replace five fire-rescue stations and the addition of one new station at 49th Street. Then,the economic recession further delayed efforts to build and staff Station 13. The Station 13 property, formerly known as the Florida Division of Forestry Site,is a 2.5 acre tract of land located at'P Street and 43rd Avenue. A combination of Emergency Services District funds and Impact Fees have been used to complete most of the design development and preliminary site work.The delay in moving forward with construction is the anticipated costs for staffing,which will require a tax increase. The Board will recall the Historical Society has a temporary lease agreement with the County for the old Forestry Tower.They have expressed interest in securing grant and private funding for the Tower renovation when the District begins the station construction. Fire-Rescue Station 14 The Station 14 property is a 9 acre tract of land located just west of 26th Street and 66th Avenue,Vero Beach. The Emergency Services District received this property as a donation from the Jaycees. Justification for this location is supported by an Insurance Services Office(ISO)recommendation for a new fire-rescue station near 20th Street and 66th Avenue. ANALYSIS: A thorough study of the District's Calls-For-Service reveals our greatest impediment to improving the timely delivery of emergency services is the geographic distances between fire-rescue stations, 257.. particularly in the west Vero Beach area.As previously presented to the Board,Stations 1 through 7 existed by 1984. Where do we need to be in the near future? Fire-Rescue Station 7 The evaluation of Station 7 has less to do with spending the allocated funds in the CIE to renovate the facility:It is whether Station 7 is in the best location to serve the community.Given the changes in property use along the SR 60 corridor over the last three decades,and projections for land use over the next decade, suggests Station 7 should be relocated near 1-95 and SR 60. In the near term, the existing staff and equipment could be relocated to a temporary modular structure until a permanent site can be determined. Fire-Rescue Station 13 Given most of the design development and that much of the preliminary site work is complete for Station 13,the construction timeline is estimated at 10 months.Additional staffing for this location is 17 personnel of appropriate rank and certifications for one ALS engine and one ALS ambulance. Fire-Rescue Station 14 As previously discussed,the Board approved a contract for design development,working drawings and project schedule for Fire-Rescue Station 14.After completion of the existing contract work,the construction time is estimated at 10 months. The Board will recall, staff recommended moving the ALS ambulance and crew from Station 7 to this location as a cost saving measure, leaving an ALS engine as the only unit at Station 7 for the near-term. FUNDING: In early 2013,staff reported to the Board that the District had experienced a nearly 31%reduction in revenues due to the recession, which understandably deferred several capital projects in the CIE; however,the demand for services continues to increase at a rate of approximately 3%annually.Staff also presented a financial analysis identifying a millage increase was necessary to accomplish these goals. Additionally, what is being proposed here keeps the millage below the other Treasure Coast counties and less than FY-2000/01. FY 2014/15 • Fire-Rescue Station 7(move to a temporary facility) As much as the annual operating costs remain relatively constant,the greatest expense is the new temporary modular structure and associated property lease. Staff anticipates this is less than the allocated funds for renovating the existing Station 7. 258 3 • Fire-Rescue Station 13 Barth Construction provided a Gross Maximum Price to complete the construction of Station 13 at $2,173,047. Funding is from a combination of Impact Fees and Emergency Services District Fund Balance. FY 2015/16 • Fire-Rescue Station 13 The total annual cost to start up and operate Station 13 is estimated at$2,752,667. Initial capital costs of$918,500 will be funded from Emergency Services District Fund Balance. Annual operating costs of$1,834,167 will be funded by a projected millage rate increase of 0.1754 mills, or about 8.9% over the current rate. Station 13 Annual Operating Costs Salaries $1,016,302 Benefits 561,037 Apparatus Expenses 53,153 Operating Expenses 203,675 Total $1,834,167 FY 2016/17 • Fire-Rescue Station 14 The estimated Gross Maximum Price to complete the construction of Station 14 is $2.2 million. Funding is from a combination of Impact Fees and Emergency Services District Fund Balance. FY 2017/18 • Fire-Rescue Station 14 Again,the ALS ambulance from Station 7 will be relocated to this location and the additional annual operating costs are largely related to adding an ALS engine and staff.The total annual cost to start up and operate Station 14 is estimated at $1,822,396. Initial capital costs of $596,200 will be funded from the Emergency Services District Fund Balance. Annual operating costs of$1,226,196 will be funded by a projected millage rate increase of 0.1173 mills,or about 5.9%over the current rate. This increase,when added to the millage increase for staffing Station 13 results in a cumulative increase of about 15%. • 259 • 14 Station 14 Annual Operating Costs Salaries $658,532 Benefits 366,648 Apparatus Expenses 28,197 Operating Expenses 172,819 Total $1,226,196 FY 2018/19 • Fire-Rescue Station 7 The estimated Gross Maximum Price to complete the construction of Station 7 is $2.2 million plus land acquisition.Funding is from a combination of Impact Fees and Emergency Services District Fund Balance. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board make the adjustments in the current budget and allocations in future Emergency Services District budgets for Fire-Rescue Stations 7, 13 and 14.

Fire Department • The use of consensus standards, particularly in fire department training, credit is available for fire officer certification; and the evaluation of pre-incident planning on an annual basis rather than semiannual inspections. • ISO placed additional emphasis on firefighter safety, including personal protective equipment, increased recognition for driver/operator training, and the realization that personnel carry out successful fire suppression operations only if they are able to avoid accidents and injury. I1 11 6/30/2015 Emergency Communications Section • Time is critical in allowing firefighters to attack a fire, the revised schedule places greater value on a communication center's ability to answer and process emergency calls in timeframes specified by the NFPA. ISO also eliminated evaluation of phone lines and phone listings; instead, will consider enhanced 911, wireless technology, VoIP, CAD, and GIS capabilities. Water Supply Section • The FSRS now includes specific credit for water utilities, or fire departments that enhance their understanding of a water system through periodic fire hydrant flow testing meeting NFPA and AWWA standards. The revised schedule also includes additional credit for flow through a single hydrant from a maximum of 1,000 gpm to 1,500 gpm, in accordance with AWWA. 1 Q 12 6/30/2015 Community Risk Reduction Additionally, it includes a new Community Risk Reduction section that • • recognizes community efforts to reduce tsSo• losses through fire prevention, public fire safety education, and fire Fire is Everyone's investigation.

We analyze the data using our Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRST"") and then assign a Public Protection Classification (PPC Tv) number to the community. The surveys are conducted whenever it appears that there is a possibility of a classification change. As such, the PPC program provides important, up-to- date information about fire protection services throughout the country. A community's investment in fire mitigation is a proven and reliable predictor of future fire losses. Statistical data on insurance losses bears out the relationship between excellent fire protection — as measured by the PPC program — and low fire losses. So, insurance companies use PPC information for marketing, underwriting, and to help establish fair premiums for homeowners and commercial fire insurance. In general, the price of fire insurance in a community with a good PPC is substantially lower than in a community with a poor PPC, assuming all other factors are equal. ISO is an independent company that serves insurance companies, communities, fire departments, insurance regulators, and others by providing information about risk. ISO's expert staff collects information about municipal fire suppression efforts in communities throughout the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data and assigns a Public Protection Classification —a number from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents an exemplary fire suppression program, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire suppression program does not meet ISO's minimum criteria. ISO's PPC program evaluates communities according to a uniform set of criteria, incorporating nationally recognized standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works Association. A community's PPC depends on: ➢ Fire alarm and communication systems, including telephone systems, telephone lines, staffing, and dispatching systems ➢ The fire department, including equipment, staffing, training, and geographic distribution of fire companies The water supply system, including condition and maintenance of hydrants, alternative water supply operations, and a careful evaluation of the amount of available water compared with the amount needed to suppress fires up to 3,500 gpm. Data Collection and Analysis ISO has evaluated and classified over 44,000 fire protection areas across the United States using its Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). We use a combination of a meeting between a trained ISO field representative and the dispatch center coordinator, community fire official, and water superintendent in conjunction with a comprehensive questionnaire to collect the data necessary to determine the PPC number. In order for a community to obtain a classification better then a Class 9, three elements of fire suppression features are reviewed. These three elements are the fire alarm and communication system, the fire department and the water supply system. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 1 Jc A review of the fire alarm and communication system accounts for 10% of the total classification. The review focuses on the community's facilities and support for handling and dispatching fire alarms. This section is weighted at 10 points broken up as follows: • Telephone Service 2 points • Number of Needed Operators 3 points • Dispatch Circuits 5 points A review of the fire department accounts for 50% of the total classification. ISO focuses on a fire department's first-alarm response and initial attack to minimize potential loss, In this section, ISO reviews such items as engine companies, ladder or service companies, distribution of fire stations and fire companies, equipment carried on apparatus, pumping capacity, reserve apparatus, department personnel, and training. The fire department section is weighted at 50 points distributed as follows: • Engine Companies 10 points • Reserve Pumpers 1 point • Pumper Capacity 5 points • Ladder/Service Companies 5 points • Reserve Ladder/Service Trucks 1 point • Distribution of Companies 4 points • Company Personnel 15 points • Training 9 points A review of the water supply system accounts for 40% of the total classification. ISO reviews the water supply a community uses to determine the adequacy for fire-suppression purposes. We also consider hydrant size, type, and installation, as well as the inspection frequency and condition of fire hydrants. The water supply system is weighted at 40 points with concern for the following: • Credit for the Supply System 35 points • Hydrant Size,Type &Installation 2 points • Inspection/Condition of Hydrants 3 points There is one additional factor considered in calculating the final score—Divergence. Even the best fire department will be less than fully effective if it has an inadequate water supply. Similarly, even a superior water supply will be less than fully effective if the fire department lacks the equipment or personnel to use the water. The preliminary FSRS score is subject to modification by a divergence factor, which recognizes disparity between the effectiveness of the fire department and the water supply. The Divergence factor mathematically reduces your preliminary scores if the fire department and water-supply scores are out of line with each other. The factor is introduced in the final equation. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 2 LI0 Public Protection Classification Number The PPC number assigned to the community will depend on the community's score on a 100- point scale: PPC Points 1 90.00 or more 2 80.00 to 89.99 3 70.00 to 79.99 4 60.00 to 69.99 5 50.00 to 59.99 6 40.00 to 49.99 7 30.00 to 39.99 8 20.00 to 29.99 9 10.00 to 19.99 10 0.00 to 9.99 The classification numbers are interpreted as follows: • Class 1 through (and including) Class 8 represents a fire suppression system that includes an FSRS creditable dispatch center,fire department and water supply. • Class 86 is a special classification that recognizes a superior level of fire protection in otherwise Class 9 areas. It is designed to represent a fire protection delivery system that is superior except for a lack of a water supply system capable of the minimum FSRS fire flow criteria of 250 gpm for 2-hours. • Class 9 is a fire suppression system that includes a creditable dispatch center,fire department but no FSRS creditable water supply. • Class 10 does not meet minimum FSRS criteria for recognition. ISO develops a single Public Protection Classification for a community when 85% or more of the buildable area is served by a water supply capable of delivering 250 gpm of fire flow, uninterrupted, for a minimum period of 2-hours, and there are no areas beyond 5 road miles of the responding fire station. Under this condition, all of the structures in the community receive that classification. Over 60% of the communities ISO has evaluated do not have this capability, so ISO develops a split classification (for example, 5/9). When a split classification is published the first class (Class 5 in the example) applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant. The second class (Class 9 in the example) applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station but beyond 1,000 feet of a hydrant. ISO generally assigns Class 10 to properties beyond 5 road miles. 050 Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 3 L I Distribution of Public Protection Classification Numbers The 2008 published countrywide distribution of communities by the Public Protection Classification number is as follows: Countrywide 16,000 14,000 13611 12,000 10,000 8778 8,000 7749 6057 6,000 44031ii 57 2409 4,000 1878 1 ' 1624 2,000 638 im 644 F - f 1 I T I• i=7:31 F Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8B 9 10 The 2008 published distribution of communities by the Public Protection Classification number is as follows: Florida 180 160 160 - 140 - 133 ---- 123 137 120 - n 100 80 • 73 65 60 - 40 31 I 21 20 - 8 rFiri " 1, , I Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8B 9 10 ©ISO Propetbes,Inc.,2007 Page 4 Assistance The PPC program offers help to communities, fire departments and other public officials as they plan for, budget, and justify improvements.

Classification Details Public Protection Classification On Mar 09, 2009 ISO concluded its review of the fire suppression features being provided for/by Indian River CO FD. The resulting classification is a Class 4/9. If the classification is a single class, the classification applies to all properties in the community. If the classification is a"split"class(e.g.,6/9),the following applies: > The first class (e.g., "6" in a 6/9) applies to properties within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant or alternate water supply. > Class 8B or class 9 applies to properties beyond 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant but within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station. • Alternative Water Supply: The first class (e.g., "6" in a 6/10) applies to all properties within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station with no hydrant distance requirement. - Class 10 applies to properties over 5-road miles of a recognized fire station.

To establish the points for each category, FSRS items labeled as "Credit for..." are totaled. These particular items are intermediate values. Often these intermediate values are based upon a 100-point scale, but they can be more (e.g., 654 for Item 513, "Credit for Engine Companies"). The ratios between the actual points scored in each of these subsections and 100(or, as in Item 513, other scale number) are then multiplied by the points available for the subsection. For instance, Item 414"Credit for Telephone Service"is valued at 2-points. To determine the credit earned, the totals for Item 411 "Review of Telephone Lines" (TL), Item 412 "Review of Telephone Directory" (TD), and Item 413 "Review of Recording Device" (RD) are summed. In Item 411, up to 60-points can accrue; Item 412 has a combined value of 20-points; and 20- points are available for Item 413. The sum of these three Items is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the 2-point weight in Item 414 to determine the final score for "Credit for Telephone Service(CTS)". The formula for Item 414"Credit for Telephone Service(CTS)"looks like this: CTS= TS x 2 100 Where TS =TL+TD+RD Detailed Evaluation Analysis On the following pages are the scoring details of each category of the evaluation of Indian River CO FD. These details relate only to the fire insurance classification of your jurisdiction. They are not for property loss prevention or life safety purposes and no life safety or property loss recommendations are made. At the end of the scoring details for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms, Fire Department, and Water Supply the relative class is indicated. The relative class represents the classification each category would have achieved if the individual score was translated into a 100-point scale instead of the points available for that category. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 7 q5 itid-Haridgni4rlititAlanns Ten percent of a community's overall score is based on how well the communications center receives and dispatches fire alarms. Our field representative evaluated: • the telephone service, including the number of telephone lines coming into the center • the listing of the emergency number and business number in the telephone directory • the automatic recording of emergency calls • the communications center, including the number of operators on duty and awake at the center • the dispatch circuits and how the center notifies firefighters about the location of the emergency Note: This evaluation includes information from multiple PSAP's (Public Safety Answering Points), the least creditable PSAP is used for the calculation of each Item under Receiving and Handling of Fire Alarms. Item 414-Credit for Telephone Service The first item reviewed is Item 414 "Credit for Telephone Service". This item reviews the facilities provided for the public to report fires including the telephone line used to report an emergency, business and private alarm lines including progression of emergency calls to business lines. Also analyzed is the listing of fire and business numbers in the telephone directory and the automatic recording of emergency calls. ISO uses National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems as the reference for this section. To determine the score for Item 414, three sub-items (Item 411, Item 412, and Item 413) needed to be evaluated. The details are as follows: ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 8 ,w ff Earned Credit Item 411 "Review of Telephone Lines(TL)" Credit Available A. Number of needed fire lines* 25.00 25 For maximum credit,there should be 6 incoming telephone lines reserved for receiving notification of fires. The Communication Center serving Indian River CO FD has 21 lines reserved. The telephone directory listed both a business and an emergency number. B.Number of needed fire, business,and private alarm 19.44 25 lines* For maximum credit,there should be 6 incoming lines reserved for notification of fires(and other emergency calls) plus 3 additional lines for conducting other fire department business and, if applicable, for private alarms. The Communication Centers serving Indian River CO FD have 1 line in addition to the 21 lines reserved for receiving notification of fires(and other emergency calls). The telephone directory listed both a business and an emergency number. C. Progression of emergency calls to business lines 10.00 10 For maximum credit, unanswered emergency calls should progress to the business number. D.If detailed information of a fire is received and 0.00 -20 transmitted through more than one communication center, DEDUCT For maximum credit,fire calls should be immediately transferred from the answering point to the dispatcher who will then obtain the needed information from the caller for dispatching. Review of Telephone Lines(TL)total: 54.44 60 `Note: When only one telephone number is listed in the telephone directory the telephone lines provided can not be reserved for emergency calls because the general public is not given a choice of telephone lines to use. Therefore, the operator/telecommunicator must accept both emergency and business calls over the same lines. The number of needed fire, business, and alarm lines will show a reduction in credit. ®ISO Properties,inc.,2007 Page 9 Earned Credit Item 412-"Review of Telephone Directory(TD)" Credit Available A. Emergency number on the inside front cover or the 10 10 front page For maximum credit, the fire emergency telephone number should be printed on the inside front cover or front page of the white pages in the telephone directory. B. Emergency number and business number listed under 5 5 "Fire Department" For credit, both the number to report a fire and the fire department business number should be listed under"FIRE DEPARTMENT"in the white pages(or government section) of the telephone directory. The fire number is listed and the business number is listed. C. Emergency number and business number listed under 5 5 the name of the city For credit, both the number to report a fire and the fire department business number should be listed under the community or fire district in the white pages(or government section)of the telephone directory.

Review of Recording Device(RD)total: 20 20 ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 10 The Items 'TL", 'TD", and "RD" are then added together and divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the two points available for the "Credit for Telephone Service (CTS)". The points calculated for Indian River CO FD for this item are: CTS=1.88 points Item 422 Credit for Operators The second item reviewed is Item 422 "Credit for Operators (CTO)". This item reviews the number of operators on duty and awake at the center to handle fire calls and other emergencies. All emergency calls including those calls that do not require fire department action are reviewed to determine the proper staffing to answer emergency calls and dispatch the appropriate emergency response. NFPA 1221, Standard for the installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems, recommends that ninety-five percent of emergency calls shall be answered within 15 seconds and ninety-nine percent of emergency calls shall be answered within 40 seconds. In addition, NFPA recommends that ninety-five percent of emergency calls shall be dispatched within 60 seconds and ninety-nine percent of calls shall be dispatched within 90 seconds of answering the call. To receive full credit for operators on duty, ISO must review documentation to show that your communication center meets NFPA 1221 call answering and dispatch time performance measurement standards. This documentation may be in the form of performance statistics or other performance measurements compiled by the 9-1-1 software or other software programs that you are currently using such as Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) or Management Information System (MIS). If the necessary data is not available, the number of needed operators will be determined by specification criteria using a "Call Volume Matrix Table"(see the following page).

Number of operators on duty(OD): 80.00 80 For maximum credit,there should be 7 operators on duty at all times.There are an average of 7.00 operators on duty at the communication center. B. Number of operators awake at all times(OA): 20.00 20 For maximum credit, all operators should be awake at all times. There is an average of 7.00 operators awake at all times. Review of Operators(PO)total: 100.00 100 After the items "OD" and "OA" are summed up to determine the points received for the "Review of Operators", the sum is divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the three points available for the "Credit for Operators (CTO)". The points calculated for Indian River CO FD for this item are: CTO=3.00 points Item 432-Credit for Dispatch Circuits The third item reviewed is Item 432"Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC). This item reviews the dispatch circuit facilities used to transmit alarms to fire department members. A "Dispatch Circuit" is defined in NFPA 1221 as "A circuit over which an alarm is retransmitted automatically or manually from the communication center to an emergency response facility" (fire station or fire department member). All fire departments (except single fire station departments with full-time firefighter personnel receiving alarms directly at the fire station) need adequate means of notifying all firefighter personnel of the location of reported structure fires. The dispatch circuit facilities should be in accordance with the general criteria of NFPA 1221. "Alarms"are defined in this Standard as"A signal or message from a person or device indicating the existence of a fire, medical emergency or other situation that requires fire department action". There are two different levels of dispatch circuit facilities provided for in the Standard — a primary dispatch circuit and a secondary dispatch circuit. In jurisdictions that receive over 730 alarms or more per year (average of two alarms per 24-hour period), two separate and dedicated dispatch circuits, a primary and a secondary, are needed. In jurisdictions receiving fewer than 730 alarms per year, a second dedicated dispatch circuit is not needed. Dispatch circuit facilities installed but not used or tested (in accordance with the NFPA Standard) receive no credit. ( (lb ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 13 �� Your score for Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC) is influenced by monitoring the integrity of the primary dispatch circuit. There are up to 1.5 points available for this Item. Monitoring for integrity involves installing automatic systems that will detect faults and failures and send visual and audible indications to appropriate communications center (or dispatch center) personnel. ISO uses NFPA 1221 to guide the evaluation of this item. Additional points are available for dispatch recording facilities at the Communication Center. All alarms that are transmitted over the required dispatch circuits need to be automatically recorded (including the dates and times of transmission) to earn the maximum points in this item. ISO's evaluation includes a review of the communication system's emergency power supplies. To receive maximum credit, two sources of power need to be provided for the _ operation of the communications network including dispatch circuits and its related support systems and equipment. A common arrangement is to have the primary power come from a utility distribution system and a secondary power source from an automatic starting emergency engine-generator and/or an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Battery System—(SEPSS-Stored Emergency Power Supply Systems). To determine the score for Item 432, four sub items (Item 431.A, Item 431.B, Item 431.0 and Item 431.D)needed to be evaluated. The criterion is as follows: CISO Properties,Inc..2007 Page 14 5— Ef The score that Indian River CO FD received for Item 432 was calculated as follows: Earned Credit Item 432-"Credit for Dispatch Circuits(CDC)" Credit Available Item 431A "Dispatch Circuits Provided" 26.60 40 The points are determined by prorating the value of the type of dispatch circuit using the percentage of members dependent upon each circuit. Item 4318-"Monitoring for Integrity of Circuit" 30.00 30 For maximum credit,the dispatch circuit should have an automatic system that will detect faults and failures and send visual and audible indications to appropriate personnel. Item 431C-"Dispatch Recording Facilities at Communication 5.00 10 Center" For maximum credit, all alarms that are transmitted over the required dispatch circuits need to be automatically recorded. Item 431D-"Emergency Power Supply" 20.00 20 For maximum credit, emergency power supplies need to be provided and regularly tested. Item 431E-"Mitten no circuit is needed" 0.00 100 If all responding fire fighters are in the same building as the communication center and are alerted, no dispatch circuit is needed and the maximum points are credited. However, the community does not operate in this fashion. Dispatch Circuits(DC)total: 86.60 100 After the Items in 431 are summed up to determine the points received for the "Credit for Dispatch Circuits", the sum is divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the five points available for the "Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC)". The points calculated for Indian River CO FD for this item are: CDC=4.35 points t elSO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 15 53 4 The final step in determining the credit for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms" is to add up the following three components: Earned Credit Item Credit Available 414. Credit for Telephone Service(CTS) 1.88 2 422. Credit for Operators(CTO) 3.00 3 432. Credit for Dispatch Circuits(CDC) 4.35 5 Total Credit: 9.23 10 If the score Indian River CO FD achieved for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms was translated into a 100 point scale instead of the 10 points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a (relative) Class 1. Fifty percent of a community's overall score is based upon the fire department's structure fire suppression system. ISO's field representative evaluated: • Engine and ladder/service vehicles including reserve apparatus • Equipment carried • Distribution of fire companies • Available and/or responding firefighters • Automatic Aid with neighboring fire departments • Training Item 501 -Basic Fire Flow The Basic Fire Flow for the community is determined by the review of the needed fire flows for selected buildings in the community. The following building addresses were used to determine the Basic Fire Flow: • 6500 gpm 695 South Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 6000 gpm 1657-1791 94 Drive, Indian River Co Fd • 6000 gpm 2810 Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 5000 gpm 1396 Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 5000 gpm 2006-2182 58 Avenue, Indian River Co Fd The fifth largest needed fire flow is determined to be the Basic Fire Flow. The maximum that the Basic Fire Flow can be is 3500 gpm. The Basic Fire Flow for Indian River CO FD has 40, been determined to be 3500 gpm. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 16 5y Item 513-Credit for Engine Companies The first item reviewed is Item 513 "Credit for Engine Companies". This item reviews the number of engine companies, their pump capacity, hose testing, pump testing and the equipment carried on the in-service pumpers. To be recognized, pumper apparatus must meet the general criteria of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus which include a minimum 250 gpm pump, an emergency warning system, a 300 gallon water tank and hose. The review of the number of needed pumpers considers the Basic Fire Flow; the response distance to built-upon areas;the method of operation; and the response outside the city. Item 501.A.Number of Needed Engine Companies(NE): BASIC FIRE FLOW, GPM ENGINE COMPANIES 500- 1,000 1 1,250-2,500 2 3,000- 3,500 3 For maximum credit, the FSRS indicates that 20 engine companies are needed in the fire district.This number is calculated as follows: The greater of: a) 3 engine companies to support a Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm. b) 20 engine companies to provide fire suppression services to areas with a reasonable population of properties without a responding fire station within 1%miles. c) 3 engine companies based upon the method of operation of the fire department. The FSRS recognizes that there are 11 engine companies in service. For maximum credit in the FSRS, at least two engine companies should respond for all reported first alarms for fires in buildings. The credit for engine companies has been reduced by 0.0 percent because the FSRS review deemed there is an adequate response to all reported fires in the district. For each engine, ISO reviews the pump capacity as indicated by a pumper test, the hose (including hose testing)and the equipment carried. For maximum credit in the schedule, pumper service tests must be done annually and documented. ISO evaluates the pumper service tests using NFPA 1911, Standard for the inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of In-service Automotive Fire Apparatus. This Standard indicates that the service tests should be conducted for. - 20 minutes @ 100% capacity at 150 psi - 10 minutes @ 70% capacity at 200 psi - 10 minutes @ 50%capacity at 250 psi Other factors such as the"overload test" are not evaluated in the FSRS and are not required for FSRS credit. ®ISO Properties,Ina,2007 Page 17 For maximum credit in the schedule, hose tests must be performed annually and documented. ISO evaluates a hose testing program using NFPA 1962, Standard for the Inspection, Care and Use of Fire Hose, Couplings and Nozzles and the Service Testing of Fire Hose. Multiple jacket-lined hose manufactured prior to July, 1987 must be service tested at 250 psi. Relay supply hose that is 3%inch to 5 inch should be tested at 200 psi and 5 inch to 6 inch relay supply hose should be tested at 150 psi. Hose that has been manufactured in July, 1987 and after should,be tested to the service test pressure the manufacturer stenciled on the hose. All hose should be serviced tested for a minimum of 3 minutes. The FSRS also reviews Automatic Aid. Automatic Aid is considered in the review as assistance dispatched automatically by contractual agreement between two communities or fire districts. That differs from mutual aid or assistance arranged case by case. ISO will recognize an Automatic Aid plan under the following conditions: • It must be prearranged for first-alarm response according to a definite plan. It is preferable to have a written agreement, but ISO may recognize demonstrated performance. • The aid must be dispatched to reported structure fires on the initial alarm. • The aid must be provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. • The aid must offset a need in the community ISO is surveying. For example, if a community needs a ladder company and the fire department does not have one, but a neighboring community's ladder company responds by Automatic Aid agreement, credit may be available. • The aiding ladder company must cover at least 50% of the needed ladder company Standard Response District by hydrant count in the community being graded. FSRS Item 512.D"Automatic Aid Engine Companies" responding on first alarm and meeting the needs of the city for basic fire flow and/or distribution of companies are factored based upon the value of the Automatic Aid plan (up to 0.90 can be used as the factor). The Automatic Aid factor is determined by a review of the Automatic Aid provider's communication facilities, how they receive alarms from your community, inter-department training with your fire department and the fire ground communications capability with your department. For each engine company, the credited Pump Capacity (PC), the Hose Carried (HC), the Equipment Carried (EC) and a factor for an overweight apparatus all contribute to the calculation for the percent of credit the FSRS provides to that engine company. After the Items in 512 are summed to determine the points received for the in Service Total (EC)", the sum is divided by the total possible points (654 or 554) and then multiplied by the Needed Engine Companies (NE). Next, this is multiplied by the appropriate factor representing the percent of built-upon area of the city with first alarm response of one or two engine companies. Finally, this product is multiplied by the 10 points available for the "Credit for Engine Companies(CEC)"to determine the final score for this item. The points calculated for Indian River CO FD for this item were: CEC=5.23 points ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 18 57 Item 523-Credit kw Reserve Pumpers The second pumper item reviewed is Item 523 "Credit for Reserve Pumpers (CRP)". This item reviews the number and adequacy of the pumpers and their equipment with one (or more in larger communities) pumper out of service. The number of needed reserve pumpers is 1 for each 8 needed engine companies determined in Item 513, or any fraction thereof. The number of reserve pumpers credited in this item will not exceed the number of needed reserve pumpers. if only one reserve pumper is needed, and more than one reserve pumper is provided in the city, only the best equipped reserve pumper will be credited. Reserve pumpers are reviewed for pump capacity, hose carried, and equipment in the same manner as described in Item 512 except that Automatic Aid reserve pumpers are not considered. The value of the Reserve Pumper Credit (RPC) is determined by multiplying the credited Pump Capacity (PC) times the credit for the Hose Carried (HC) times the credit for the Equipment Carried(EC)times the factor for an overweight apparatus. After the items in 521 are factored to determine the points received for each reserve pumper, the reserve pumper with the largest points is selected for the Reserve Pumper Credit (RPC). The value for RPC is added to the value in Item 512 determined above. Next, the best equipped in-service pumper is subtracted from the in-service and reserve total. The difference is then divided by the total the possible points (654 or 554) times the Needed Engine Companies (NE). Finally, this quotient is multiplied by the 1 point available for the "Credit for Reserve Pumpers(CRP)". These points calculated for Indian River CO FD resulted in the following: CRP=0.51 points item 530-Credit for Pump Capacity The next item reviewed is Item 532 "Credit for Pumper Capacity (CPC)". The total pump capacity available should be sufficient for the Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm in Indian River CO FD. The maximum needed pump capacity credited is the Basic Fire Flow of the community. The pump capacity is obtained by test at the rated pump pressure. Credit is limited to 80 percent of rated capacity if no test data is available within two years of the survey date. Less than 80 percent may be credited if other mechanical features of the apparatus indicate a generally poor mechanical condition. The existing pump capacity (EP) represents the capacity of in-service pumpers, pumper- ladder,and pumper-service trucks that were credited in Item 513. The reserve pump capacity (RP)is that capacity of reserve pumpers, reserve pumper-ladder, and pumper-service trucks that were credited in Item 523. One-half the capacity of permanently-mounted pumps capable of delivering at least 50 gpm at 150 psi on other apparatus, reserve pumpers and reserve pumper-ladder and reserve pumper-service trucks not credited in Items 513 or 523 is credited in this item.This capacity is expressed as"OP". Automatic Aid pumper capacity is that capacity of pumpers credited as Automatic Aid in Item 513. The capacity credited does not exceed the percent determined by the value of the Automatic Aid plan determined in Item 512.D multiplies by the creditable pump capacity for each Automatic Aid pumper. This capacity is expressed as AAP. ®ISO Properties,Inc,2007 Page 19 The sum of the capacities determined for EP,RP, OP, and AAP above is 19500 gpm. The FSRS limits the total capacity to the Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm. Next, this capacity is divided by the Basic Fire Flow. Finally, this factor is multiplied by the 5 points available for the "Credit for Pumper Capacity (CPC)". The points calculated for Indian River CO FD for this item were as follows: CPC=5.00 points Item 549—Credit for Ladder,Service ISO establishes a"Credit for Ladder Service (CLS)' (FSRS Item 549). This item reviews the number of response areas within the city with 5 buildings that are 3 or more stories or 35 feet or more in height, or with 5 buildings that have a Needed Fire Flow greater than 3500 gpm,or any combination of this criteria. The height of all buildings in the city, including those protected by automatic sprinklers, is considered when determining the number of needed ladder companies. When no individual response area alone needs a ladder company, at least one ladder company is needed if buildings in the city meet the above criteria. Ladders, tools and equipment normally carried on ladder trucks are needed not only for ladder operations but also for forcible entry, ventilation, salvage, overhaul, lighting and utility control.When long ladders are not needed in a community due to low height of buildings, the other support services tools and equipment are still needed, The number and type of apparatus is dependent upon the height of buildings, needed fire flow and response distance. Response areas not needing a ladder company should have a service company. A service company is an apparatus with some or all of the equipment identified in Table 544.A(see the following pages). The number of ladder or service companies, the height of the aerial ladder, aerial ladder testing and the equipment carried on the in-service ladder trucks and service trucks is compared with the number of needed ladder trucks and service trucks and an FSRS equipment list(Table 544 A, B, and C). Ladder trucks must meet the general criteria of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus to be recognized. The number of needed ladder-service trucks is dependent upon the number of buildings 3 stories or 35 feet or more in height, buildings with a Needed Fire Flow greater than 3500 gpm, the response distance to built-upon areas, the method of operation and the response outside the city. For maximum credit in the Schedule, 2 ladder companies are needed in your district. This is calculated as follows: The greater of: a) 2 ladder companies due to the number of buildings over 3500 gpm or 3 stories in height or the method of operation. Plus b) 0 additional ladder companies because 10% or less of the responses outside of the district result in a reduction of the ladder companies left in the district to 50%or less of the normal strength level. We have recognized 1.5 ladder companies. CDISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 20 For maximum credit in the Schedule, a ladder or service company should respond on first alarms to all reported fires in buildings. It was determined the ladder or service company response is to 100%of first alarm fires in buildings. For maximum credit in the Schedule, 2 service companies are needed in your district. This need is calculated as follows: 2 service companies due to the lack of 5 or more buildings in response areas with a needed fire flow of over 3,500 gpm or 3 stories in height; or due to the method of operation. We have recognized 1.5 service companies. Tests and sample forms for recording tests for aerial ladder and elevating platforms are described in NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of In-service Automotive Fire Apparatus. If a ladder company is needed,the available equipment items in Table 544.A are summed to determine the points received for a Service Company, and available equipment items in Table 544.B are summed to determine the additional equipment points available for a Ladder Company. Table 544.A and 544.B points are added together to determine the total possible points available out of a possible 784 points. If a service company is needed,the available equipment items are summed in Table 544.A. If additional ground ladders are needed for the service company, the assigned points for each available ground ladder up to 4 (from Table 544.B) are added to the points determined in Table 544.A. All ladder company equipment, available service company equipment, available engine- ladder company equipment and available engine-service company equipment are summed. This sum is then divided by the sum of 784 points multiplied by the Needed Ladder(NL) plus 334 points multiplied by the Needed Service (NS) companies plus any points assigned for any additional ladders from Table 544.B. Next, this factor is multiplied by the appropriate factor (A) representing the percent of built- upon area of the city with first alarm response of a ladder, service, engine-ladder or engine- service company to fires in buildings. Finally, this product is multiplied by the 5 points available for the `Credit for Ladder Service (CLS)". The points calculated for Indian River CO FD resulted in the following: CLS =2.71 points Item 553—Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks The next item reviewed is Item 553 "Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks (CRLS)". This item considers the adequacy of ladder and service apparatus when one (or more in larger communities) of these apparatus are out of service. The number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks is 1 for each 8 needed ladder and service companies that were determined to be needed in Item 540, or any fraction thereof. When 8 or less ladder and service companies are needed, and 1 or more ladder companies are needed, the reserve truck should be a ladder truck. When the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks exceeds the number of needed reserve ladder trucks, the difference is considered as needed reserve service trucks. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 21 59 The number of in-service ladder and service trucks considered out of service is determined by the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks. The in-service ladder and service trucks credited in Item 549 having the largest number of points is what is considered as out of service. The equipment on credited reserve ladder and service trucks shall be reviewed by application of Tables 544.A, 544.B and 544.C. The number of reserve ladder trucks credited in this item shall not exceed the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks. If only one reserve ladder is needed, and if more than one reserve ladder or service truck is provided in the city, only the best equipped reserve ladder or service truck will be credited. All ladder company equipment, available service company equipment, available engine- ladder company equipment and available engine-service company equipment are summed. After the points for all reserve ladder and service equipment is determined,the reserve ladder service truck with the largest points is selected. This value is added to the value of all in- service ladder and service company equipment determined in Item 549. Next, the best equipped in-service ladder or service truck is subtracted from the in-service and reserve total. The difference is then divided by the total possible points for a ladder truck (784) times the Needed Ladder(NL) plus the total possible points (334)times the Needed Service (NS) plus any assigned points for any additional ladders needed from Table 544.B. Finally, this quotient is multiplied by the 1 point available for the "Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks(CRLS)". The credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks was calculated for Indian River CO FD as follows: CRLS=0.33 points Item 561—Credit for Distribution Next, Item 561 "Credit for Distribution (CD)"is reviewed. This Item examines the number and adequacy of existing engine and ladder-service companies to cover built-upon areas of the city. The built-upon area of the city should have a first-due engine company within 11/2 miles and a ladder-service company within 2%miles. To determine the Credit for Distribution, we begin by selecting certain values that have already been determined in the evaluation process. Existing Engine Company (EC) points and the Existing Engine Companies (EE) determined in Item 513 are considered along with Ladder Company Equipment (LCE) points, Service Company Equipment (SCE) points, Engine-Ladder Company Equipment (ELCE) points, and Engine-Service Company Equipment(ESCE)points determined in Item 549. A company distribution study is conducted using a base map of the city drawn to scale. All named and numbered streets are depicted as well as all fire hydrant locations. The in-service engine company and in-service ladder and service company locations are plotted on the map. Using the prevailing map scale a 1% mile polygon is drawn around each in-service engine company location and a 2% mile polygon is drawn around each in-service ladder and service company location. Since the fire hydrant locations are indicative of growth and development they are used as a surrogate to quantify built-upon areas. All fire hydrants located within 11/2 mile polygons are counted and summed. also Properties.Inc,2007 Page 22 ILJ� This number is divided by the total number of fire hydrants in the city and multiplied by 100 to FG determine the percent of built-upon area within 1'/ miles of an existing engine company. Similarly, all fire hydrants located within 2A mile polygons are counted and summed. This number is divided by the total number of fire hydrants in the city and multiplied by 100 to determine the percent of built-upon area within 21 miles of existing ladder and service companies. The points calculated for Credit for Distribution for Indian River CO FD resulted in the following: CD= 1.57 points Item 571 —Credit for Company Personnel Item 571 "Credit for Company Personnel (CCP)" reviews the average number of existing fire fighter and company officer personnel available to respond to reported "first alarm structure fires"in the city. For on-duty strength, the total number of members on duty with companies is taken as the yearly average considering vacations, sick leave, holidays, "Kelley"days and other absences. When your fire department operates under a "minimum staffing" policy and sufficient funds are allocated in the fire department budget to hire back personnel from the off-shift to maintain the minimum staffing, ISO will use the minimum staffing in lieu of figuring an average. Members on apparatus not credited under Items 513 and 549 that regularly respond to ( • reported first alarms to aid engine, ladder and service companies are included in this item as increasing the total company strength. Personnel staffing ambulances or other units serving the general public are credited if they participate in fire-fighting operations,the number depending upon the extent to which they are available and are used for response to first alarms of fire. Call and volunteer members (VM) are credited on the basis of the average number staffing apparatus on first alarms. Off-shift paid members responding on first alarms are considered on the same basis as call and volunteer members. For personnel not normally at the fire station, the value of responding members is divided by 3 to reflect the time needed to assemble at the fire scene and the fractured ability to act as a team due to the various arrival times at the fire location when compared to the personnel on duty at the fire station during the receipt of an alarm. While Public Safety Officers do not represent the ability to respond from a single location as a team, they are positioned in emergency vehicles within the jurisdiction boundaries. In recognition of this increased response capability the value of responding members is divided by 2. Call and volunteer members sleeping at fire stations are considered as on-duty members for the proportional time that they at the fire station. The average number of personnel responding with those companies credited as Automatic Aid under Items 513 and 549 are considered for either on-duty or volunteer personnel as is appropriate. The actual number is calculated as the average number of personnel responding multiplied by the value of AA Plan determined in Item 512.D. CISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 23 The maximum credit for any response of on-duty and call members are 12 fire fighters, including company officers, for each existing engine and ladder company and 6 for each existing service company. The FSRS recognizes an average of 39.61 on-duty personnel and 0.00 volunteers respond on first alarm to structure fires. The points calculated for Credit for Personnel for Indian River CO FD resulted in the following: CCP=7.07 points Item 581 —Credit for Training The final item reviewed in the fire department section is Item 580 "Credit for Training (CD".

Credit for Training(CT) 5.94 9 Total Credit 28.36 50 If the score Indian River CO FD achieved for the fire department was translated into a 100- point scale instead of the 50-points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a (relative)Class 5. Water Supply Forty percent of a community's overall score is based on the adequacy of the water supply system. The ISO field representative evaluated: • representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes(needed fire flow up to 3,500 gpm) • fire hydrants: size,type and installation to determine the capacity of the fire hydrants • hydrants: inspection and condition to review the fire hydrant inspection frequency, the completeness of the inspections and the condition of the hydrants item 616—Credit for Supply System The first item reviewed was Item 616 "Credit for Supply System (CSS)°. This item reviews the rate of flow that can be credited at each of the needed fire flow tests locations considering the supply works capacity, the main capacity and the hydrant distribution. The lowest flow rate of these items is credited for each representative location reviewed. A water system capable of delivering 250 gpm or more for a period of two hours plus consumption at the maximum daily rate at the fire location is considered minimum in the ISO review. To determine the score for Item 616 "Credit for Supply System", three sub items (Item 612 "Supply Works Capacity", Item 613 "Main Capacity" and Item 614 "Hydrant Distribution") need to be evaluated. L_LO ©ISO Properties.Inc.,2007 Page 29 b) We calculate the supply works capacity for each representative needed fire flow test location. In doing this, ISO considers a variety of water supply sources. These would include public water supplies, emergency supplies (usually accessed from neighboring water systems), suction supplies (usually evidenced by dry hydrant installations near a river, lake or other body of water), and a supply developed by a fire department using large diameter hose or vehicles to shuttle water from a source of supply to a fire site. The result is expressed in gallons per minute(gpm). The normal ability of the distribution system to deliver Needed Fire Flows (NFF) at the selected building locations is reviewed. The results of a flow test at a representative test location will indicate the ability of the water mains (or fire department in the case of fire department supplies)to carry water to that location. The hydrant distribution is reviewed within 1,000 feet of representative test locations measured as hose can be laid by apparatus. Credit is allowed up to 1,000 gpm from each hydrant within 300 feet of the location, 670 gpm from hydrants within 301 to 600 feet of the location and 250 gpm from hydrants within 601 to 1,000 feet of the location. The normal distribution of hydrants in the vicinity of test locations considered in Items 612 and 613 are evaluated. These hydrant distribution allowances are based upon a standard fire hydrant with a pumper outlet conforming to the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard C-502 or C-503. In addition, they are based upon a standard complement of 1,200 feet of 2% inch fire hose. If a hose diameter greater than 2% inch is carried by all in-service pumpers, the hydrant distribution credit may be greater than that stated above due to the reduced friction loss in the larger diameter hose. Where there are 2 or more systems or services distributing water at the same location, credit is given on the basis of the joint protection provided by all systems and services available. A. Sub-standard type hydrants with at least one fire department outlet are considered if they are capable of delivering at least 250 gpm. B. A cistern or other suction point must be capable of supplying 250 gpm for at least 2 hours to be recognized. C. The maximum credit for a hydrant may be limited by A or B above and is limited by the number and size of outlets as follows: MAXIMUM CREDIT At least one pumper outlet 1,000 gpm Two or more hose outlets, no pumper outlet 750 gpm One hose outlet only 500 gpm For maximum credit in the FSRS, the needed fire flows should be available at each location in the district. Needed fire flows of 2,500 gpm or less should be available for 2 hours; and needed fire flows of 3,000 and 3,500 gpm should be obtainable for 3 hours. A variety of buildings were used as representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes(needed fire flow). The points calculated for Indian River CO FD resulted in the following: CSS=25.43 OISO Properties,Inc..2007 Page 30 Item 621 —Credit for Hydrants The second item reviewed is Item 621 "Credit for Hydrants (CH)". This item reviews the number of fire hydrants of each type compared with the total number of hydrants. For maximum credit in the FSRS, all hydrants should have a pumper outlet, 6 inch or larger branch connection, uniform size operating nut and should operate in a uniform direction in accordance with AWWA C-502 Standard for Dry-Barrel Fire Hydrants or AWWA C-503 Standard for Wet-Barrel Fire Hydrants. For maximum credit, all suction supply points should be equipped with a dry hydrant with a 6 inch or larger pipe and fittings, a minimum number of 90 degree elbows (preferably no more than two), and suction screen placement so that the dry hydrant will deliver the design capacity (usually 1,000 gpm) as specified in NFPA 1142, Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting.

Of the 3781 hydrants that were reviewed, 0% did not operate in the direction of the majority and 0% had a different size operating nut. Note 2: 10 points are deducted if more than one type hose thread is used for pumper or hose outlets. Of the 3781 hydrants that were reviewed, none had a different hose thread • than the majority. There were no points deducted for this item. ©ISO Properties,Inc,2007 Page 31 C9 ( To determine your"Credit for Hydrants", the points credited in Item 620.A though 680.F are summed. A deduction of 2 points is made for each 10% of hydrants not operating in a uniform direction of the majority, or with an operating nut different from the majority. A deduction of 10 points is also made if more than one thread is used for pumper or hose outlets. The sum is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the 2 points available for the"Credit for Hydrants(CH)".The points calculated for Indian River CO FD resulted in the following: CH=2.00 Item 630—Credit for inspection and Condition The third item reviewed is Item 630 "Credit for Inspection and Condition (CIC)". This item reviews the fire hydrant inspection frequency, the completeness of the inspections and the condition of hydrants. Inspection and condition of hydrants should be in accordance with AWWA M-17, Installation, Field Testing and Maintenance of Fire Hydrants. A. Inspection (HI): The frequency of inspection is the average time interval between the 3 most recent inspections. Frequence of Inspections Points %year 100 1 year 80 2 years 65 3 years 55 4 years 45 5 years or more 40 Note 1: The points for inspection frequency are reduced by 10 points if the inspections are incomplete or does not include a flushing program. An additional reduction of 10 points are made if hydrants are not subjected to full system pressure during inspections. If the inspection of cisterns or suction points does not include actual drafting with a pumper, or back-flushing for dry hydrants, 40 points are deducted. B. Condition (HF): A factor (HF) is determined from the following list of conditions according to the actual condition of hydrants examined compared with the total number examined during the survey: Condition Factor Standard(no leaks, opens easily, conspicuous,well located for use by pumper) 1.0 Usable(with some defects and/or impediments to use) 0.5 Not Usable 0.0 ©ISO Properties,Inc,2007 Page 32 w For maximum credit in the Schedule, all hydrants should be inspected twice a year. The inspection should include operation of the fire hydrant, a test for leaks (using domestic pressure), and a flushing of the hydrant. Records should be kept of inspections.

This difference would prevent the better feature from being utilized to its fullest extent. Therefore, an adjustment is made to reflect any difference between these two features. Because of the difference in total weights assigned to the two features, the total for the Fire Department, which has the higher total weight, is adjusted to make the comparison reflect the relative adequacies of the two features.

We analyze the data using our Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRST"') and then assign a Public Protection Classification (PPCTM) number to the community. The surveys are conducted whenever it appears that there is a possibility of a classification change. As such, the PPC program provides important, up-to- date information about fire protection services throughout the country. A community's investment in fire mitigation is a proven and reliable predictor of future fire losses. Statistical data on insurance losses bears out the relationship between excellent fire protection — as measured by the PPC program — and low fire losses. So, insurance companies use PPC information for marketing, underwriting, and to help establish fair premiums for homeowners and commercial fire insurance. In general, the price of fire insurance in a community with a good PPC is substantially lower than in a community with a poor PPC, assuming all other factors are equal. ISO is an independent company that serves insurance companies, communities, fire departments, insurance regulators, and others by providing information about risk. ISO's expert staff collects information about municipal fire suppression efforts in communities throughout the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data and assigns a Public Protection Classification — a number from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents an exemplary fire suppression program, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire suppression program does not meet ISO's minimum criteria. ISO's PPC program evaluates communities according to a uniform set of criteria, incorporating nationally recognized standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works Association. A community's PPC depends on: • Fire alarm and communication systems, including telephone systems, telephone lines, staffing, and dispatching systems • The fire department, including equipment, staffing, training, and geographic distribution of fire companies • The water supply system, including condition and maintenance of hydrants, alternative water supply operations, and a careful evaluation of the amount of available water compared with the amount needed to suppress fires up to 3,500 gpm. Data Collection and Analysis ISO has evaluated and classified over 44,000 fire protection areas across the United States using its Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). We use a combination of a meeting between a trained ISO field representative and the dispatch center coordinator, community fire official, and water superintendent in conjunction with a comprehensive questionnaire to collect the data necessary to determine the PPC number. In order for a community to obtain a classification better then a Class 9, three elements of fire suppression features are reviewed. These three elements are the fire alarm and communication system, the fire department and the water supply system. SO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 1 rig A review of the fire alarm and communication system accounts for 10% of the total classification. The review focuses on the community's facilities and support for handling and dispatching fire alarms.This section is weighted at 10 points broken up as follows: • Telephone Service 2 points • Number of Needed Operators 3 points • Dispatch Circuits 5 points A review of the fire department accounts for 50%of the total classification. ISO focuses on a fire department's first-alarm response and initial attack to minimize potential loss. In this section, ISO reviews such items as engine companies, ladder or service companies, distribution of fire stations and fire companies, equipment carried on apparatus, pumping capacity, reserve apparatus, department personnel, and training. The fire department section is weighted at 50 points distributed as follows: • Engine Companies 10 points • Reserve Pumpers 1 point • Pumper Capacity 5 points • Ladder/Service Companies 5 points • Reserve Ladder/Service Trucks 1 point • Distribution of Companies 4 points • Company Personnel 15 points • Training 9 points A review of the water supply system accounts for 40% of the total classification. ISO reviews the water supply a community uses to determine the adequacy for fire-suppression purposes. We also consider hydrant size, type, and installation, as well as the inspection frequency and condition of fire hydrants. The water supply system is weighted at 40 points with concern for the following: • Credit for the Supply System 35 points • Hydrant Size, Type &Installation 2 points • Inspection/Condition of Hydrants 3 points There is one additional factor considered in calculating the final score— Divergence. Even the best fire department will be less than fully effective if it has an inadequate water supply. Similarly, even a superior water supply will be less than fully effective if the fire department lacks the equipment or personnel to use the water. The preliminary FSRS score is subject to modification by a divergence factor, which recognizes disparity between the effectiveness of the fire department and the water supply. The Divergence factor mathematically reduces your preliminary scores if the fire department and water-supply scores are out of line with each other. The factor is introduced in the final equation. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 2 Public Protection Classification Number The PPC number assigned to the community will depend on the community's score on a 100- point scale: PPC Points 1 90.00 or more 2 80.00 to 89.99 3 70.00 to 79.99 4 60.00 to 69.99 5 50.00 to 59.99 6 40.00 to 49.99 7 30.00 to 39.99 8 20.00 to 29.99 9 10.00 to 19.99 10 0.00 to 9.99 The classification numbers are interpreted as follows: • Class 1 through(and including) Class 8 represents a fire suppression system that includes an FSRS creditable dispatch center,fire department and water supply. • Class 8B is a special classification that recognizes a superior level of fire protection in otherwise Class 9 areas. It is designed to represent a fire protection delivery system that is superior except for a lack of a water supply system capable of the minimum FSRS fire flow criteria of 250 gpm for 2-hours. • Class 9 is a fire suppression system that includes a creditable dispatch center,fire department but no FSRS creditable water supply. • Class 10 does not meet minimum FSRS criteria for recognition. ISO develops a single Public Protection Classification for a community when 85% or more of the buildable area is served by a water supply capable of delivering 250 gpm of fire flow, uninterrupted, for a minimum period of 2-hours, and there are no areas beyond 5 road miles of the responding fire station. Under this condition, all of the structures in the community receive that classification. Over 60% of the communities ISO has evaluated do not have this capability, so ISO develops a split classification (for example, 5/9). When a split classification is published the first class (Class 5 in the example) applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant. The second class (Class 9 in the example) applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station but beyond 1,000 feet of a hydrant. ISO generally assigns Class 10 to properties beyond 5 road miles. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 3 rp Distribution of Public Protection Classification Numbers The 2008 published countrywide distribution of communities by the Public Protection Classification number is as follows: Countrywide 16,000 - 14,000 13611 12,000 10,000 - 8778 8,000 7749 -�-1 6057 6,000 - 4403 4,000 1878 i2409 2,000 S 57 538 1524 11 t _ I L�..ir644-----1 Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8B 9 10 The 2008 published distribution of communities by the Public Protection Classification number is as follows: Florida 180 160 160 140 133 137 - 1 123 1 120 __ 100 80 73_6565 60 40 31 1 21 20 8 10 ' 0 .1 { �� 1 � � I I , , �—Ll Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8B 9 10 oiSO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 4 Assistance The PPC program offers help to communities, fire departments and other public officials as they plan for, budget, and justify improvements.

Classification Details Public Protection Classification On Mar 09, 2009 ISO concluded its review of the fire suppression features being provided for/by Vero Beach. The resulting classification is a Class 4. If the classification is a single class, the classification applies to all properties in the community. If the classification is a"split"class (e.g., 6/9), the following applies: The first class (e.g., "6" in a 6/9) applies to properties within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant or alternate water supply. Class 8B or class 9 applies to properties beyond 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant but within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station. Alternative Water Supply: The first class (e.g., "6" in a 6/10) applies to all properties within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station with no hydrant distance requirement. ➢ Class 10 applies to properties over 5-road miles of a recognized fire station. ®iS0 Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 5 Summary Evaluation Analysis The following points represent the analysis of the application of the criterion outlined in the FSRS of four topics- Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms, Fire Department, Water Supply and the Divergence factor for Vero Beach: Earned Credit FSRS Feature Credit Available Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms 414.

To establish the points for each category, FSRS items labeled as "Credit for..." are totaled. These particular items are intermediate values. Often these intermediate values are based upon a 100-point scale, but they can be more (e.g., 654 for Item 513, "Credit for Engine Companies"). The ratios between the actual points scored in each of these subsections and 100(or, as in Item 513, other scale number)are then multiplied by the points available for the subsection. For instance, Item 414"Credit for Telephone Service"is valued at 2-points. To determine the credit earned, the totals for Item 411 "Review of Telephone Lines" (TL), Item 412 "Review of Telephone Directory" (TD), and Item 413 "Review of Recording Device" (RD) are summed. In Item 411, up to 60-points can accrue; Item 412 has a combined value of 20-points; and 20- points are available for Item 413. The sum of these three Items is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the 2-point weight in Item 414 to determine the final score for "Credit for Telephone Service (CTS)". The formula for Item 414"Credit for Telephone Service (CTS)"looks like this: CTS= TS x 2 100 Where TS=TL+TD+ RD Detailed Evaluation Analysis On the following pages are the scoring details of each category of the evaluation of Vero Beach. These details relate only to the fire insurance classification of your jurisdiction. They are not for property loss prevention or life safety purposes and no life safety or property loss recommendations are made. At the end of the scoring details for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms, Fire Department, and Water Supply the relative class is indicated. The relative class represents the classification each category would have achieved if the individual score was translated into a 100-point scale instead of the points available for that category. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 7 QQ Receiving and Handling of Fire Alarms Ten percent of a community's overall score is based on how well the communications center receives and dispatches fire alarms. Our field representative evaluated: • the telephone service, including the number of telephone lines coming into the center • the listing of the emergency number and business number in the telephone directory • the automatic recording of emergency calls • the communications center, including the number of operators on duty and awake at the center • the dispatch circuits and how the center notifies firefighters about the location of the emergency Note: This evaluation includes information from multiple PSAP's (Public Safety Answering Points), the least creditable PSAP is used for the calculation of each Item under Receiving and Handling of Fire Alarms. Item 414-Credit for Telephone Service The first item reviewed is Item 414 "Credit for Telephone Service". This item reviews the facilities provided for the public to report fires including the telephone line used to report an emergency, business and private alarm lines including progression of emergency calls to business lines. Also analyzed is the listing of fire and business numbers in the telephone directory and the automatic recording of emergency calls. ISO uses National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems as the reference for this section. To determine the score for Item 414, three sub-items (Item 411, Item 412, and Item 413) needed to be evaluated. The details are as follows: ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 8 Earned Credit Item 411 -"Review of Telephone Lines(TL)" Credit Available A. Number of needed fire lines* 25.00 25 For maximum credit, there should be 6 incoming telephone lines reserved for receiving notification of fires. The Communication Center serving Vero Beach has 21 lines reserved. The telephone directory listed both a business and an emergency number. B. Number of needed fire, business,and private alarm 25.00 25 lines* For maximum credit, there should be 6 incoming lines reserved for notification of fires(and other emergency calls) plus 1 additional line for conducting other fire department business and, if applicable,for private alarms. The Communication Centers serving Vero Beach have 1 line in addition to the 21 lines reserved for receiving notification of fires (and other emergency calls). The telephone directory listed both a business and an emergency number. C. Progression of emergency calls to business lines 10.00 10 For maximum credit, unanswered emergency calls should progress to the business number. D. If detailed information of a fire is received and 0.00 -20 transmitted through more than one communication center, DEDUCT For maximum credit,fire calls should be immediately transferred from the answering point to the dispatcher who will then obtain the needed information from the caller for dispatching. Review of Telephone Lines(TL)total: 60.00 60 *Note: When only one telephone number is listed in the telephone directory the telephone lines provided can not be reserved for emergency calls because the general public is not given a choice of telephone lines to use. Therefore, the operator/telecommunicator must accept both emergency and business calls over the same lines. The number of needed fire, business, and alarm lines will show a reduction in credit. @150 Properties.Inc..2007 Page 9 g5 Earned Credit Item 412-"Review of Telephone Directory(TD)" Credit Available A.

Review of Recording Device(RD)total: 20 20 ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 10 The Items 'TL", 'TD", and "RD" are then added together and divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the two points available for the "Credit for Telephone Service (CTS)". The points calculated for Vero Beach for this item are: CTS =2.00 points Item 422-Credit for Operators The second item reviewed is Item 422 "Credit for Operators (CTO)". This item reviews the number of operators on duty and awake at the center to handle fire calls and other emergencies. All emergency calls including those calls that do not require fire department action are reviewed to determine the proper staffing to answer emergency calls and dispatch the appropriate emergency response. NFPA 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems, recommends that ninety-five percent of emergency calls shall be answered within 15 seconds and ninety-nine percent of emergency calls shall be answered within 40 seconds. In addition, NFPA recommends that ninety-five percent of emergency calls shall be dispatched within 60 seconds and ninety-nine percent of calls shall be dispatched within 90 seconds of answering the call. To receive full credit for operators on duty, ISO must review documentation to show that your communication center meets NFPA 1221 call answering and dispatch time performance measurement standards. This documentation may be in the form of performance statistics or other performance measurements compiled by the 9-1-1 software or other software programs that you are currently using such as Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) or Management Information System (MIS). If the necessary data is not available, the number of needed operators will be determined by specification criteria using a "Call Volume Matrix Table"(see the following page). ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 11 CALL VOLUME MATRIX TABLE#1 For Public Safety Answering Points that Perform Call Taking and Dispatching Number of Needed Alarms per Year Telecommunicators Less than 731 1* 731 to 10,000 2 10,001 to 25,000 4** 25,001 to 50,000 5** 50,001 to 100,000 6** 100,001 to 150,000 7** 150,001 to 200,000 8** 200,001 to 250,000 9** 250,001 to 300,000 10** Over 300,000*** 11** CALL VOLUME MATRIX TABLE#2 For Public Safety Answering Points that Perform Call Taking Without Dispatching Number of Needed Alarms per Year Telecommunicators Less than 10,001 1 10,001 to 50,000 2 50,001 to 100,000 4** 100,001 to 150,000 5** 150,001 to 200,000 6** 200,001 to 250,000 7** 250,001 to 300,000 8** Over 300,000*** 9** *Communication centers that provide emergency medical dispatching(EMD)protocols need two telecommunicators on duty at all times. **Includes a supervisor in the communication center. ***For every 10 additional calls(alarms)that are averaged per hour(87,600 calls per year),one additional telecommunicator is added. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 12 To determine the score for Item 422,two sub-Items(421.A and 421.6) need to be summed. The details are as follows: Earned Credit Item 421 -"Review of Operators(PO)" Credit Available A. Number of operators on duty(OD): 80.00 80 For maximum credit, there should be 7 operators on duty at all times.There are an average of 7.00 operators on duty at the communication center. B. Number of operators awake at all times (OA): 20.00 20 For maximum credit, all operators should be awake at all times.There is an average of 7.00 operators awake at all times. Review of Operators(PO)total: 100.00 100 After the items "OD" and "OA" are summed up to determine the points received for the "Review of Operators", the sum is divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the three points available for the "Credit for Operators (CTO)". The points calculated for Vero Beach for this item are: CTO=3.00 points Item 432-Credit for Dispatch Circuits The third item reviewed is Item 432"Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC). This item reviews the dispatch circuit facilities used to transmit alarms to fire department members. A "Dispatch Circuit" is defined in NFPA 1221 as "A circuit over which an alarm is retransmitted automatically or manually from the communication center to an emergency response facility" (fire station or fire department member). All fire departments (except single fire station departments with full-time firefighter personnel receiving alarms directly at the fire station) need adequate means of notifying all firefighter personnel of the location of reported structure fires. The dispatch circuit facilities should be in accordance with the general criteria of NFPA 1221. "Alarms"are defined in this Standard as"A signal or message from a person or device indicating the existence of a fire, medical emergency or other situation that requires fire department action". There are two different levels of dispatch circuit facilities provided for in the Standard — a primary dispatch circuit and a secondary dispatch circuit. In jurisdictions that receive over 730 alarms or more per year (average of two alarms per 24-hour period), two separate and dedicated dispatch circuits, a primary and a secondary, are needed. In jurisdictions receiving fewer than 730 alarms per year, a second dedicated dispatch circuit is not needed. Dispatch circuit facilities installed but not used or tested (in accordance with the NFPA Standard) receive no credit. ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 13 Your score for Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC) is influenced by monitoring the integrity of the primary dispatch circuit. There are up to 1.5 points available for this Item. Monitoring for integrity involves installing automatic systems that will detect faults and failures and send visual and audible indications to appropriate communications center (or dispatch center) personnel. ISO uses NFPA 1221 to guide the evaluation of this item. Additional points are available for dispatch recording facilities at the Communication Center. All alarms that are transmitted over the required dispatch circuits need to be automatically recorded (including the dates and times of transmission) to earn the maximum points in this item. ISO's evaluation includes a review of the communication system's emergency power supplies. To receive maximum credit, two sources of power need to be provided for the operation of the communications network including dispatch circuits and its related support systems and equipment. A common arrangement is to have the primary power come from a utility distribution system and a secondary power source from an automatic starting emergency engine-generator and/or an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Battery System--(SEPSS-Stored Emergency Power Supply Systems). To determine the score for Item 432, four sub items (Item 431.A, Item 431.B, Item 431.0 and Item 431.D)needed to be evaluated. The criterion is as follows: ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 14 The score that Vero Beach received for Item 432 was calculated as follows: Earned Credit Item 432-"Credit for Dispatch Circuits(CDC)" Credit Available Item 431A-"Dispatch Circuits Provided" 26.60 40 The points are determined by prorating the value of the type of dispatch circuit using the percentage of members dependent upon each circuit. Item 431 B-"Monitoring for Integrity of Circuit" 30.00 30 For maximum credit,the dispatch circuit should have an automatic system that will detect faults and failures and send visual and audible indications to appropriate personnel. Item 431C -"Dispatch Recording Facilities at Communication 5.00 10 Center" For maximum credit, all alarms that are transmitted over the required dispatch circuits need to be automatically recorded. Item 431D-"Emergency Power Supply" 20.00 20 For maximum credit, emergency power supplies need to be provided and regularly tested. Item 431E -"When no circuit is needed" 0.00 100 If all responding fire fighters are in the same building as the communication center and are alerted, no dispatch circuit is needed and the maximum points are credited. However, the community does not operate in this fashion. Dispatch Circuits(DC)total: 86.60 100 After the Items in 431 are summed up to determine the points received for the "Credit for Dispatch Circuits", the sum is divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the five points available for the "Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC)". The points calculated for Vero Beach for this item are: CDC =4.35 points ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 15 / / The final step in determining the credit for"Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms" is to add up the following three components: Earned Credit Item Credit Available 414. Credit for Telephone Service (CTS) 2.00 2 422. Credit for Operators(CTO) 3.00 3 432. Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC) 4.35 5 Total Credit: 9.35 10 If the score Vero Beach achieved for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms was translated into a 100 point scale instead of the 10 points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a(relative) Class 1. Fire Department Fifty percent of a community's overall score is based upon the fire departments structure fire suppression system. ISO's field representative evaluated: • Engine and ladder/service vehicles including reserve apparatus • Equipment carried • Distribution of fire companies • Available and/or responding firefighters • Automatic Aid with neighboring fire departments • Training Item 501 -Basic Fire Flow The Basic Fire Flow for the community is determined by the review of the needed fire flows for selected buildings in the community. The following building addresses were used to determine the Basic Fire Flow: • 6500 gpm 695 South Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 6000 gpm 2810 Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 6000 gpm 1657-1791 94 Drive, Indian River Co Fd • 5000 gpm 614-660 21 Street, Indian River Co Fd • 5000 gpm 2008-2182 58 Avenue, Indian River Co Fd The fifth largest needed fire flow is determined to be the Basic Fire Flow. The maximum that the Basic Fire Flow can be is 3500 gpm. The Basic Fire Flow for Vero Beach has been determined to be 3500 gpm. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 16 Item 513-Credit for Engine Companies The first item reviewed is Item 513 "Credit for Engine Companies". This item reviews the number of engine companies, their pump capacity, hose testing, pump testing and the equipment carried on the in-service pumpers. To be recognized, pumper apparatus must meet the general criteria of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus which include a minimum 250 gpm pump, an emergency warning system, a 300 gallon water tank and hose. The review of the number of needed pumpers considers the Basic Fire Flow; the response distance to built-upon areas;the method of operation; and the response outside the city. Item 501.A. Number of Needed Engine Companies (NE): BASIC FIRE FLOW, GPM ENGINE COMPANIES 500- 1,000 1 1,250- 2,500 2 3,000- 3,500 3 For maximum credit, the FSRS indicates that 20 engine companies are needed in the fire district. This number is calculated as follows: The greater of: a) 3 engine companies to support a Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm. b) 20 engine companies to provide fire suppression services to areas with a reasonable population of properties without a responding fire station within 1%miles. c) 3 engine companies based upon the method of operation of the fire department. The FSRS recognizes that there are 11 engine companies in service. For maximum credit in the FSRS, at least two engine companies should respond for all reported first alarms for fires in buildings. The credit for engine companies has been reduced by 0.0 percent because the FSRS review deemed there is an adequate response to all reported fires in the district. For each engine, ISO reviews the pump capacity as indicated by a pumper test, the hose (including hose testing)and the equipment carried. For maximum credit in the schedule, pumper service tests must be done annually and documented. ISO evaluates the pumper service tests using NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of In-service Automotive Fire Apparatus. This Standard indicates that the service tests should be conducted for. - 20 minutes @ 100%capacity at 150 psi - 10 minutes @ 70%capacity at 200 psi - 10 minutes @ 50%capacity at 250 psi Other factors such as the "overload test" are not evaluated in the FSRS and are not required for FSRS credit. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 17 q3 For maximum credit in the schedule, hose tests must be performed annually and documented. ISO evaluates a hose testing program using NFPA 1962, Standard for the Inspection, Care and Use of Fire Hose, Couplings and Nozzles and the Service Testing of Fire Hose. Multiple jacket-lined hose manufactured prior to July, 1987 must be service tested at 250 psi. Relay supply hose that is 31/2 inch to 5 inch should be tested at 200 psi and 5 inch to 6 inch relay supply hose should be tested at 150 psi. Hose that has been manufactured in July, 1987 and after should be tested to the service test pressure the manufacturer stenciled on the hose. All hose should be serviced tested for a minimum of 3 minutes. The FSRS also reviews Automatic Aid. Automatic Aid is considered in the review as assistance dispatched automatically by contractual agreement between two communities or fire districts. That differs from mutual aid or assistance arranged case by case. ISO will recognize an Automatic Aid plan under the following conditions: • It must be prearranged for first-alarm response according to a definite plan. It is preferable to have a written agreement, but ISO may recognize demonstrated performance. • The aid must be dispatched to reported structure fires on the initial alarm. • The aid must be provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. • The aid must offset a need in the community ISO is surveying. For example, if a community needs a ladder company and the fire department does not have one, but a neighboring community's ladder company responds by Automatic Aid agreement, credit may be available. • The aiding ladder company must cover at least 50% of the needed ladder company Standard Response District by hydrant count in the community being graded. FSRS Item 512.D "Automatic Aid Engine Companies" responding on first alarm and meeting the needs of the city for basic fire flow and/or distribution of companies are factored based upon the value of the Automatic Aid plan (up to 0.90 can be used as the factor). The Automatic Aid factor is determined by a review of the Automatic Aid provider's communication facilities, how they receive alarms from your community, inter-department training with your fire department and the fire ground communications capability with your department. For each engine company, the credited Pump Capacity (PC), the Hose Carried (HC), the Equipment Carried (EC) and a factor for an overweight apparatus all contribute to the calculation for the percent of credit the FSRS provides to that engine company. After the Items in 512 are summed to determine the points received for the "In Service Total (EC)", the sum is divided by the total possible points (654 or 554) and then multiplied by the Needed Engine Companies (NE). Next, this is multiplied by the appropriate factor representing the percent of built-upon area of the city with first alarm response of one or two engine companies. Finally, this product is multiplied by the 10 points available for the "Credit for Engine Companies (CEC)"to determine the final score for this item. The points calculated for Vero Beach for this item were: CEC=5.23 points olSO Properties,Inc,2007 Page 18 Item 523-Credit for Reserve Pumpers The second pumper item reviewed is Item 523 "Credit for Reserve Pumpers (CRP)". This item reviews the number and adequacy of the pumpers and their equipment with one (or more in larger communities) pumper out of service. The number of needed reserve pumpers is 1 for each 8 needed engine companies determined in Item 513, or any fraction thereof. The number of reserve pumpers credited in this item will not exceed the number of needed reserve pumpers. If only one reserve pumper is needed, and more than one reserve pumper is provided in the city, only the best equipped reserve pumper will be credited. Reserve pumpers are reviewed for pump capacity, hose carried, and equipment in the same manner as described in Item 512 except that Automatic Aid reserve pumpers are not considered. The value of the Reserve Pumper Credit (RPC) is determined by multiplying the credited Pump Capacity (PC) times the credit for the Hose Carried (HC) times the credit for the Equipment Carried (EC)times the factor for an overweight apparatus. After the items in 521 are factored to determine the points received for each reserve pumper, the reserve pumper with the largest points is selected for the Reserve Pumper Credit (RPC). The value for RPC is added to the value in Item 512 determined above. Next, the best equipped in-service pumper is subtracted from the in-service and reserve total. The difference is then divided by the total the possible points (654 or 554) times the Needed Engine Companies (NE). Finally, this quotient is multiplied by the 1 point available for the "Credit for Reserve Pumpers(CRP)". These points calculated for Vero Beach resulted in the following: CRP=0.51 points Item 530—Credit for Pump Capacity The next item reviewed is Item 532 "Credit for Pumper Capacity (CPC)". The total pump capacity available should be sufficient for the Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm in Vero Beach. The maximum needed pump capacity credited is the Basic Fire Flow of the community. The pump capacity is obtained by test at the rated pump pressure. Credit is limited to 80 percent of rated capacity if no test data is available within two years of the survey date. Less than 80 percent may be credited if other mechanical features of the apparatus indicate a generally poor mechanical condition. The existing pump capacity (EP) represents the capacity of in-service pumpers, pumper- ladder, and pumper-service trucks that were credited in Item 513. The reserve pump capacity (RP) is that capacity of reserve pumpers, reserve pumper-ladder, and pumper-service trucks that were credited in Item 523. One-half the capacity of permanently-mounted pumps capable of delivering at least 50 gpm at 150 psi on other apparatus, reserve pumpers and reserve pumper-ladder and reserve pumper-service trucks not credited in Items 513 or 523 is credited in this item. This capacity is expressed as"OP". Automatic Aid pumper capacity is that capacity of pumpers credited as Automatic Aid in Item 513. The capacity credited does not exceed the percent determined by the value of the Automatic Aid plan determined in Item 512.D multiplies by the creditable pump capacity for each Automatic Aid pumper. This capacity is expressed as AAP. C'ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 19 96 The sum of the capacities determined for EP, RP, OP, and AAP above is 19500 gpm. The FSRS limits the total capacity to the Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm. Next, this capacity is divided by the Basic Fire Flow. Finally, this factor is multiplied by the 5 points available for the "Credit for Pumper Capacity (CPC)". The points calculated for Vero Beach for this item were as follows: CPC =5.00 points Item 549—Credit for Ladder Service ISO establishes a"Credit for Ladder Service (CLS)" (FSRS Item 549). This item reviews the number of response areas within the city with 5 buildings that are 3 or more stories or 35 feet or more in height, or with 5 buildings that have a Needed Fire Flow greater than 3500 gpm, or any combination of this criteria. The height of all buildings in the city, including those protected by automatic sprinklers, is considered when determining the number of needed ladder companies. When no individual response area alone needs a ladder company, at least one ladder company is needed if buildings in the city meet the above criteria. Ladders, tools and equipment normally carried on ladder trucks are needed not only for ladder operations but also for forcible entry, ventilation, salvage, overhaul, lighting and utility control.When long ladders are not needed in a community due to low height of buildings, the other support services tools and equipment are still needed, The number and type of apparatus is dependent upon the height of buildings, needed fire flow and response distance. Response areas not needing a ladder company should have a service company. A service company is an apparatus with some or all of the equipment identified in Table 544.A(see the following pages). The number of ladder or service companies, the height of the aerial ladder, aerial ladder testing and the equipment carried on the in-service ladder trucks and service trucks is compared with the number of needed ladder trucks and service trucks and an FSRS equipment list(Table 544 A, B, and C). Ladder trucks must meet the general criteria of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus to be recognized. The number of needed ladder-service trucks is dependent upon the number of buildings 3 stories or 35 feet or more in height, buildings with a Needed Fire Flow greater than 3500 gpm, the response distance to built-upon areas, the method of operation and the response outside the city. For maximum credit in the Schedule, 2 ladder companies are needed in your district. This is calculated as follows: The greater of: a) 2 ladder companies due to the number of buildings over 3500 gpm or 3 stories in height or the method of operation. Plus b) 0 additional ladder companies because 10% or less of the responses outside of the district result in a reduction of the ladder companies left in the district to 50% or less of the normal strength level. We have recognized 1.5 ladder companies. t 4SO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 20 X/ For maximum credit in the Schedule, a ladder or service company should respond on first alarms to all reported fires in buildings. It was determined the ladder or service company response is to 100%of first alarm fires in buildings. For maximum credit in the Schedule, 2 service companies are needed in your district. This need is calculated as follows: 2 service companies due to the lack of 5 or more buildings in response areas with a needed fire flow of over 3,500 gpm or 3 stories in height; or due to the method of operation. We have recognized 1.5 service companies. Tests and sample forms for recording tests for aerial ladder and elevating platforms are described in NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of In-service Automotive Fire Apparatus. If a ladder company is needed, the available equipment items in Table 544.A are summed to determine the points received for a Service Company, and available equipment items in Table 544.6 are summed to determine the additional equipment points available for a Ladder Company. Table 544.A and 544.6 points are added together to determine the total possible points available out of a possible 784 points. If a service company is needed, the available equipment items are summed in Table 544.A. If additional ground ladders are needed for the service company, the assigned points for each available ground ladder up to 4 (from Table 544.6) are added to the points determined in Table 544.A. All ladder company equipment, available service company equipment, available engine- ladder company equipment and available engine-service company equipment are summed. This sum is then divided by the sum of 784 points multiplied by the Needed Ladder(NL) plus 334 points multiplied by the Needed Service (NS) companies plus any points assigned for any additional ladders from Table 544.6. Next, this factor is multiplied by the appropriate factor (A) representing the percent of built- upon area of the city with first alarm response of a ladder, service, engine-ladder or engine- service company to fires in buildings. Finally, this product is multiplied by the 5 points available for the "Credit for Ladder Service (CLS)". The points calculated for Vero Beach resulted in the following: CLS=2.71 points Item 553-Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks The next item reviewed is Item 553 "Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks (CRLS)". This item considers the adequacy of ladder and service apparatus when one (or more in larger communities) of these apparatus are out of service. The number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks is 1 for each 8 needed ladder and service companies that were determined to be needed in Item 540, or any fraction thereof. When 8 or less ladder and service companies are needed, and 1 or more ladder companies are needed, the reserve truck should be a ladder truck. When the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks exceeds the number of needed reserve ladder trucks, the difference is considered as needed reserve service trucks. oiSO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 21 The number of in-service ladder and service trucks considered out of service is determined by the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks. The in-service ladder and service trucks credited in Item 549 having the largest number of points is what is considered as out of service. The equipment on credited reserve ladder and service trucks shall be reviewed by application of Tables 544.A, 544.B and 544.C. The number of reserve ladder trucks credited in this item shall not exceed the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks. If only one reserve ladder is needed, and if more than one reserve ladder or service truck is provided in the city, only the best equipped reserve ladder or service truck will be credited. All ladder company equipment, available service company equipment, available engine- ladder company equipment and available engine-service company equipment are summed. After the points for all reserve ladder and service equipment is determined, the reserve ladder service truck with the largest points is selected. This value is added to the value of all in- service ladder and service company equipment determined in Item 549. Next, the best equipped in-service ladder or service truck is subtracted from the in-service and reserve total. The difference is then divided by the total possible points for a ladder truck (784) times the Needed Ladder(NL) plus the total possible points (334) times the Needed Service (NS) plus any assigned points for any additional ladders needed from Table 544.B. Finally, this quotient is multiplied by the 1 point available for the "Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks(CRLS)". The credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks was calculated for Vero Beach as follows: CRLS=0.33 points Item 561 -Credit for Distribution Next, Item 561 "Credit for Distribution (CD)" is reviewed. This Item examines the number and adequacy of existing engine and ladder-service companies to cover built-upon areas of the city. The built-upon area of the city should have a first-due engine company within 11/2 miles and a ladder-service company within 21/2 miles. To determine the Credit for Distribution, we begin by selecting certain values that have already been determined in the evaluation process. Existing Engine Company (EC) points and the Existing Engine Companies (EE) determined in Item 513 are considered along with Ladder Company Equipment (LCE) points, Service Company Equipment (SCE) points, Engine-Ladder Company Equipment (ELCE) points, and Engine-Service Company Equipment(ESCE) points determined in Item 549. A company distribution study is conducted using a base map of the city drawn to scale. All named and numbered streets are depicted as well as all fire hydrant locations. The in-service engine company and in-service ladder and service company locations are plotted on the map. Using the prevailing map scale a 11/2 mile polygon is drawn around each in-service engine company location and a 21/2 mile polygon is drawn around each in-service ladder and service company location. Since the fire hydrant locations are indicative of growth and development they are used as a surrogate to quantify built-upon areas. All fire hydrants located within 1'/2 mile polygons are counted and summed. CISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 22 This number is divided by the total number of fire hydrants in the city and multiplied by 100 to determine the percent of built-upon area within 11/2 miles of an existing engine company. Similarly, all fire hydrants located within 2% mile polygons are counted and summed. This number is divided by the total number of fire hydrants in the city and multiplied by 100 to determine the percent of built-upon area within 2% miles of existing ladder and service companies. The points calculated for Credit for Distribution for Vero Beach resulted in the following: CD=1.57 points Item 571 —Credit for Company Personnel Item 571 "Credit for Company Personnel (CCP)" reviews the average number of existing fire fighter and company officer personnel available to respond to reported "first alarm structure fires"in the city. For on-duty strength, the total number of members on duty with companies is taken as the yearly average considering vacations, sick leave, holidays, "Kelley"days and other absences. When your fire department operates under a "minimum staffing" policy and sufficient funds are allocated in the fire department budget to hire back personnel from the off-shift to maintain the minimum staffing, ISO will use the minimum staffing in lieu of figuring an average. Members on apparatus not credited under Items 513 and 549 that regularly respond to reported first alarms to aid engine, ladder and service companies are included in this item as increasing the total company strength. Personnel staffing ambulances or other units serving the general public are credited if they participate in fire-fighting operations, the number depending upon the extent to which they are available and are used for response to first alarms of fire. Call and volunteer members (VM) are credited on the basis of the average number staffing apparatus on first alarms. Off-shift paid members responding on first alarms are considered on the same basis as call and volunteer members. For personnel not normally at the fire station, the value of responding members is divided by 3 to reflect the time needed to assemble at the fire scene and the fractured ability to act as a team due to the various arrival times at the fire location when compared to the personnel on duty at the fire station during the receipt of an alarm. While Public Safety Officers do not represent the ability to respond from a single location as a team, they are positioned in emergency vehicles within the jurisdiction boundaries. In recognition of this increased response capability the value of responding members is divided by 2. Call and volunteer members sleeping at fire stations are considered as on-duty members for the proportional time that they at the fire station. The average number of personnel responding with those companies credited as Automatic Aid under Items 513 and 549 are considered for either on-duty or volunteer personnel as is appropriate. The actual number is calculated as the average number of personnel responding multiplied by the value of AA Plan determined in Item 512.D. The maximum credit for any response of on-duty and call members are 12 fire fighters, including company officers, for each existing engine and ladder company and 6 for each existing service company. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 23 R9 The FSRS recognizes an average of 39.61 on-duty personnel and 0.00 volunteers respond on first alarm to structure fires. The points calculated for Credit for Personnel for Vero Beach resulted in the following: CCP=7.07 points Item 581 —Credit for Training The final item reviewed in the fire department section is Item 580 "Credit for Training (CT)". This item evaluates training facilities and aids and the use made of them by the fire suppression force; company training at fire stations; classes for officers; driver and operator training; new driver and operator training; hazardous materials training; recruit training; the pre-fire planning inspection program; and the training and inspection records. A maximum of 35% of the training evaluation is attributed to facilities, aids and use, 50% is attributed to specialized training and the final 15% is available for the pre-fire planning inspection program. The following pages outline the points scored by Item for Training. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 24 l � Earned Credit Item 580.A.1 "Facilities and Aids" Credit Available Drill Tower* 8.00 8 For maximum credit,a 4 story drill tower should be used.

Credit for Training(CT) 5.94 9 Total Credit 28.36 50 If the score Vero Beach achieved for the fire department was translated into a 100-point scale instead of the 50-points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a (relative) Class 5. Water Sum)Iv Forty percent of a community's overall score is based on the adequacy of the water supply system. The ISO field representative evaluated: • representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes(needed fire flow up to 3,500 gpm) • fire hydrants: size, type and installation to determine the capacity of the fire hydrants • hydrants: inspection and condition to review the fire hydrant inspection frequency, the completeness of the inspections and the condition of the hydrants Item 616—Credit for Supply System The first item reviewed was Item 616 "Credit for Supply System (CSS)". This item reviews the rate of flow that can be credited at each of the needed fire flow tests locations considering the supply works capacity, the main capacity and the hydrant distribution. The lowest flow rate of these items is credited for each representative location reviewed. A water system capable of delivering 250 gpm or more for a period of two hours plus consumption at the maximum daily rate at the fire location is considered minimum in the ISO review. To determine the score for Item 616 "Credit for Supply System", three sub items (Item 612 "Supply Works Capacity", Item 613 "Main Capacity" and Item 614 "Hydrant Distribution") need to be evaluated. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 29 105 We calculate the supply worts capacity for each representative needed fire flow test location. In doing this, ISO considers a variety of water supply sources. These would include public water supplies, emergency supplies (usually accessed from neighboring water systems), suction supplies (usually evidenced by dry hydrant installations near a river, lake or other body of water), and a supply developed by a fire department using large diameter hose or vehicles to shuttle water from a source of supply to a fire site. The result is expressed in gallons per minute(gpm). The normal ability of the distribution system to deliver Needed Fire Flows (NFF) at the selected building locations is reviewed. The results of a flow test at a representative test location will indicate the ability of the water mains (or fire department in the case of fire department supplies)to carry water to that location. The hydrant distribution is reviewed within 1,000 feet of representative test locations measured as hose can be laid by apparatus. Credit is allowed up to 1,000 gpm from each hydrant within 300 feet of the location, 670 gpm from hydrants within 301 to 600 feet of the location and 250 gpm from hydrants within 601 to 1,000 feet of the location. The normal distribution of hydrants in the vicinity of test locations considered in Items 612 and 613 are evaluated. These hydrant distribution allowances are based upon a standard fire hydrant with a pumper outlet conforming to the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard C-502 or C-503. In addition, they are based upon a standard complement of 1,200 feet of 2% inch fire hose. If a hose diameter greater than 2% inch is carried by all in-service pumpers, the hydrant distribution credit may be greater than that stated above due to the reduced friction loss in the larger diameter hose. Where there are 2 or more systems or services distributing water at the same location, credit is given on the basis of the joint protection provided by all systems and services available. A. Sub-standard type hydrants with at least one fire department outlet are considered if they are capable of delivering at least 250 gpm. B. A cistern or other suction point must be capable of supplying 250 gpm for at least 2 hours to be recognized. C. The maximum credit for a hydrant may be limited by A or B above and is limited by the number and size of outlets as follows: MAXIMUM CREDIT At least one pumper outlet 1,000 gpm Two or more hose outlets, no pumper outlet 750 gpm One hose outlet only 500 gpm For maximum credit in the FSRS, the needed fire flows should be available at each location in the district. Needed fire flows of 2,500 gpm or less should be available for 2 hours; and needed fire flows of 3,000 and 3,500 gpm should be obtainable for 3 hours. A variety of buildings were used as representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes(needed fire flow). The points calculated for Vero Beach resulted in the following: CSS = 29.14 ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 30 Item 621 —Credit for Hydrants The second item reviewed is Item 621 "Credit for Hydrants (CH)". This item reviews the number of fire hydrants of each type compared with the total number of hydrants. For maximum credit in the FSRS, all hydrants should have a pumper outlet, 6 inch or larger branch connection, uniform size operating nut and should operate in a uniform direction in accordance with AWVVA C-502 Standard for Dry-Barrel Fire Hydrants or AVWVA C-503 Standard for Wet-Barrel Fire Hydrants. For maximum credit, all suction supply points should be equipped with a dry hydrant with a 6 inch or larger pipe and fittings, a minimum number of 90 degree elbows (preferably no more than two), and suction screen placement so that the dry hydrant will deliver the design capacity (usually 1,000 gpm) as specified in NFPA 1142, Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting.

Of the 514 hydrants that were reviewed, 0% did not operate in the direction of the majority and 0%had a different size operating nut. Note 2: 10 points are deducted if more than one type hose thread is used for pumper or hose outlets. Of the 514 hydrants that were reviewed, none had a different hose thread than the majority. There were no points deducted for this item. C>1 SO Properties,Inc.. 2007 Page 31 0-7 To determine your"Credit for Hydrants", the points credited in Item 620.A though 680.F are summed. A deduction of 2 points is made for each 10% of hydrants not operating in a uniform direction of the majority, or with an operating nut different from the majority. A deduction of 10 points is also made if more than one thread is used for pumper or hose outlets. The sum is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the 2 points available for the"Credit for Hydrants(CH)". The points calculated for Vero Beach resulted in the following: CH=2.00 Item 630--Credit for Inspection and Condition The third item reviewed is Item 630 "Credit for Inspection and Condition (CIC)". This item reviews the fire hydrant inspection frequency, the completeness of the inspections and the condition of hydrants. Inspection and condition of hydrants should be in accordance with AWWA M-17, Installation, Field Testing and Maintenance of Fire Hydrants. A.

Divergence Divergence considers a difference between the protection provided by the Fire Department and the Water Supply. This difference would prevent the better feature from being utilized to its fullest extent. Therefore, an adjustment is made to reflect any difference between these two features. Because of the difference in total weights assigned to the two features, the total for the Fire Department, which has the higher total weight, is adjusted to make the comparison reflect the relative adequacies of the two features.

We analyze the data using our Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRSTM) and then assign a Public Protection Classification (PPCT"') number to the community. The surveys are conducted whenever it appears that there is a possibility of a classification change. As such, the PPC program provides important, up-to- date information about fire protection services throughout the country. A community's investment in fire mitigation is a proven and reliable predictor of future fire losses. Statistical data on insurance losses bears out the relationship between excellent fire protection — as measured by the PPC program — and low fire losses. So, insurance companies use PPC information for marketing, underwriting, and to help establish fair premiums for homeowners and commercial fire insurance. In general, the price of fire insurance in a community with a good PPC is substantially lower than in a community with a poor PPC, assuming all other factors are equal. ISO is an independent company that serves insurance companies, communities, fire departments, insurance regulators, and others by providing information about risk. ISO's expert staff collects information about municipal fire suppression efforts in communities throughout the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data and assigns a Public Protection Classification —a number from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents an exemplary fire suppression program, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire suppression program does not meet ISO's minimum criteria. ISO's PPC program evaluates communities according to a uniform set of criteria, incorporating nationally recognized standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works Association. A community's PPC depends on: Fire alarm and communication systems, including telephone systems, telephone lines, staffing, and dispatching systems Y The fire department, including equipment, staffing, training, and geographic distribution of fire companies ➢ The water supply system, including condition and maintenance of hydrants, alternative water supply operations, and a careful evaluation of the amount of available water compared with the amount needed to suppress fires up to 3,500 gpm. Data Collection and Analysis ISO has evaluated and classified over 44,000 fire protection areas across the United States using its Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). We use a combination of a meeting between a trained ISO field representative and the dispatch center coordinator, community fire official, and water superintendent in conjunction with a comprehensive questionnaire to collect the data necessary to determine the PPC number. In order for a community to obtain a classification better then a Class 9, three elements of fire suppression features are reviewed. These three elements are the fire alarm and communication system, the fire department and the water supply system. ®ISO Properties,Inc,2007 Page 1 11i4 A review of the fire alarm and communication system accounts for 10% of the total classification. The review focuses on the community's facilities and support for handling and dispatching fire alarms. This section is weighted at 10 points broken up as follows: • Telephone Service 2 points • Number of Needed Operators 3 points • Dispatch Circuits 5 points A review of the fire department accounts for 50% of the total classification. ISO focuses on a fire department's first-alarm response and initial attack to minimize potential loss. In this section, ISO reviews such items as engine companies, ladder or service companies, distribution of fire stations and fire companies, equipment carried on apparatus, pumping capacity, reserve apparatus, department personnel, and training. The fire department section is weighted at 50 points distributed as follows: • Engine Companies 10 points • Reserve Pumpers 1 point • Pumper Capacity 5 points • Ladder/Service Companies 5 points • Reserve Ladder/Service Trucks 1 point • Distribution of Companies 4 points • Company Personnel 15 points • Training 9 points A review of the water supply system accounts for 40% of the total classification. ISO reviews the water supply a community uses to determine the adequacy for fire-suppression purposes. We also consider hydrant size, type, and installation, as well as the inspection frequency and condition of fire hydrants. The water supply system is weighted at 40 points with concern for the following: • Credit for the Supply System 35 points • Hydrant Size, Type & Installation 2 points • Inspection/Condition of Hydrants 3 points There is one additional factor considered in calculating the final score—Divergence. Even the best fire department will be less than fully effective if it has an inadequate water supply. Similarly, even a superior water supply will be less than fully effective if the fire department lacks the equipment or personnel to use the water. The preliminary FSRS score is subject to modification by a divergence factor, which recognizes disparity between the effectiveness of the fire department and the water supply. The Divergence factor mathematically reduces your preliminary scores if the fire department and water-supply scores are out of line with each other. The factor is introduced in the final equation. ®ISO Properties,Inc,2007 Page 2 115 Public Protection Classification Number The PPC number assigned to the community will depend on the community's score on a 100- point scale: PPC Points 1 90.00 or more 2 80.00 to 89.99 3 70.00 to 79.99 4 60.00 to 69.99 5 50.00 to 59.99 6 40.00 to 49.99 7 30.00 to 39.99 8 20.00 to 29.99 9 10.00 to 19.99 10 0.00 to 9.99 The classification numbers are interpreted as follows: • Class 1 through (and including)Class 8 represents a fire suppression system that includes an FSRS creditable dispatch center,fire department and water supply. • Class 8B is a special classification that recognizes a superior level of fire protection in otherwise Class 9 areas. It is designed to represent a fire protection delivery system that is superior except for a lack of a water supply system capable of the minimum FSRS fire flow criteria of 250 gpm for 2-hours. • Class 9 is a fire suppression system that includes a creditable dispatch center,fire department but no FSRS creditable water supply. • Class 10 does not meet minimum FSRS criteria for recognition. ISO develops a single Public Protection Classification for a community when 85% or more of the buildable area is served by a water supply capable of delivering 250 gpm of fire flow, uninterrupted, for a minimum period of 2-hours, and there are no areas beyond 5 road miles of the responding fire station. Under this condition, all of the structures in the community receive that classification. Over 60% of the communities ISO has evaluated do not have this capability, so ISO develops a split classification (for example, 5/9). When a split classification is published the first class (Class 5 in the example) applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant. The second class (Class 9 in the example) applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station but beyond 1,000 feet of a hydrant. ISO generally assigns Class 10 to properties beyond 5 road miles. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Paye 3 I Distribution of Public Protection Classification Numbers The 2008 published countrywide distribution of communities by the Public Protection Classification number is as follows: Countrywide 16,000 - 14,000 13611 12,000 10,000 8778 7749 8,000 6057 6,000 4403 4,000 2409 1878 1624 2,000 57 538 l LC-i644 Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8B 9 10 The 2008 published distribution of communities by the Public Protection Classification number is as follows: Florida 180 - 160 160 - 133 137 140 123 120 100 - 80 , 73 65 60 40 31 21 010 20 18 T� -� , I I, , 4 Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8B 9 10 ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 4 117 Assistance The PPC program offers help to communities, fire departments and other public officials as they plan for, budget, and justify improvements.

Classification Details Public Protection Classification On Mar 09, 2009 ISO concluded its review of the fire suppression features being provided for/by Orchid. The resulting classification is a Class 4. If the classification is a single class, the classification applies to all properties in the community. If the classification is a"split"class (e.g., 6/9), the following applies: D The first class (e.g., "6" in a 6/9) applies to properties within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant or alternate water supply. D Class 8B or class 9 applies to properties beyond 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant but within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station. D Alternative Water Supply: The first class (e.g., "6" in a 6/10) applies to all properties within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station with no hydrant distance requirement. D Class 10 applies to properties over 5-road miles of a recognized fire station. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 5 Il t Summary Evaluation Analysis The following points represent the analysis of the application of the criterion outlined in the FSRS of four topics- Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms, Fire Department, Water Supply and the Divergence factor for Orchid: Earned Credit FSRS Feature Credit Available Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms 414.

To establish the points for each category, FSRS items labeled as "Credit for..." are totaled. These particular items are intermediate values. Often these intermediate values are based upon a 100-point scale, but they can be more (e.g., 654 for Item 513, "Credit for Engine Companies"). The ratios between the actual points scored in each of these subsections and 100 (or, as in Item 513, other scale number)are then multiplied by the points available for the subsection. For instance, Item 414"Credit for Telephone Service"is valued at 2-points. To determine the credit earned, the totals for Item 411 "Review of Telephone Lines" (TL), Item 412 "Review of Telephone Directory" (TD), and Item 413 "Review of Recording Device" (RD) are summed. In Item 411, up to 60-points can accrue; Item 412 has a combined value of 20-points;and 20- points are available for Item 413. The sum of these three Items is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the 2-point weight in Item 414 to determine the final score for "Credit for Telephone Service(CTS)". The formula for Item 414"Credit for Telephone Service(CTS)" looks like this: CTS= TS x 2 100 Where TS=TL +TD+ RD Detailed Evaluation Analysis On the following pages are the scoring details of each category of the evaluation of Orchid. These details relate only to the fire insurance classification of your jurisdiction. They are not for property loss prevention or life safety purposes and no life safety or property loss recommendations are made. At the end of the scoring details for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms, Fire Department, and Water Supply the relative class is indicated. The relative class represents the classification each category would have achieved if the individual score was translated into a 100-point scale instead of the points available for that category. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 7 I�0 Receiving and Handling of Fire Alarms Ten percent of a community's overall score is based on how well the communications center receives and dispatches fire alarms.Our field representative evaluated: • the telephone service, including the number of telephone lines coming into the center • the listing of the emergency number and business number in the telephone directory • the automatic recording of emergency cans • the communications center, including the number of operators on duty and awake at the center • the dispatch circuits and how the center notifies firefighters about the location of the emergency Note: This evaluation includes information from multiple PSAP's (Public Safety Answering Points), the least creditable PSAP is used for the calculation of each Item under Receiving and Handling of Fire Alarms. Item 414-Credit for Telephone Service The first item reviewed is Item 414 "Credit for Telephone Service". This item reviews the facilities provided for the public to report fires including the telephone line used to report an emergency, business and private alarm lines including progression of emergency calls to business lines. Also analyzed is the listing of fire and business numbers in the telephone directory and the automatic recording of emergency calls. ISO uses National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems as the reference for this section. To determine the score for Item 414, three sub-items (Item 411, Item 412, and Item 413) needed to be evaluated. The details are as follows: CISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 8 « r Earned Credit Item 411 -"Review of Telephone Lines(TL)" Credit Available A. Number of needed fire lines* 25.00 25 For maximum credit, there should be 6 incoming telephone lines reserved for receiving notification of fires. The Communication Center serving Orchid has 21 lines reserved. The telephone directory listed both a business and an emergency number. B. Number of needed fire, business,and private alarm 25.00 25 lines* For maximum credit,there should be 6 incoming lines reserved for notification of fires(and other emergency calls) plus 1 additional line for conducting other fire department business and, if applicable,for private alarms. The Communication Centers serving Orchid have 1 line in addition to the 21 lines reserved for receiving notification of fires(and other emergency calls). The telephone directory listed both a business and an emergency number. C. Progression of emergency calls to business lines 10.00 10 For maximum credit, unanswered emergency calls should progress to the business number. D.

Review of Telephone Lines (TL)total: 60.00 60 `Note: When only one telephone number is listed in the telephone directory the telephone lines provided can not be reserved for emergency calls because the general public is not given a choice of telephone lines to use. Therefore, the operator/telecommunicator must accept both emergency and business calls over the same lines. The number of needed fire, business, and alarm lines will show a reduction in credit. ©ISO Properties,Inc.. 2007 Pa9e 9 Earned Credit Item 412-"Review of Telephone Directory(TD)" Credit Available ��4 A. Emergency number on the inside front cover or the 10 10 front page For maximum credit,the fire emergency telephone number should be printed on the inside front cover or front page of the white pages in the telephone directory. B. Emergency number and business number listed under 5 5 "Fire Department" For credit, both the number to report a fire and the fire department business number should be listed under"FIRE DEPARTMENT'in the white pages(or government section) of the telephone directory. The fire number is listed and the business number is listed. C. Emergency number and business number listed under 5 5 the name of the city For credit, both the number to report a fire and the fire department business number should be listed under the community or fire district in the white pages(or government section)of the telephone directory.

Review of Recording Device(RD)total: 20 20 CISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 10 la3 The Items 'TL", 'TD", and "RD" are then added together and divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the two points available for the "Credit for Telephone Service(CTS)". The points calculated for Orchid for this item are: CTS=2.00 points Item 422-Credit for Operators The second item reviewed is Item 422 "Credit for Operators (CTO)". This item reviews the number of operators on duty and awake at the center to handle fire calls and other emergencies. All emergency calls including those calls that do not require fire department action are reviewed to determine the proper staffing to answer emergency calls and dispatch the appropriate emergency response. NFPA 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems, recommends that ninety-five percent of emergency calls shall be answered within 15 seconds and ninety-nine percent of emergency calls shall be answered within 40 seconds. In addition, NFPA recommends that ninety-five percent of emergency calls shall be dispatched within 60 seconds and ninety-nine percent of calls shall be dispatched within 90 seconds of answering the call. To receive full credit for operators on duty, ISO must review documentation to show that your communication center meets NFPA 1221 call answering and dispatch time performance measurement standards. This documentation may be in the form of performance statistics or other performance measurements compiled by the 9-1-1 software or other software programs that you are currently using such as Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) or Management Information System (MIS). If the necessary data is not available, the number of needed operators will be determined by specification criteria using a "Call Volume Matrix Table"(see the following page). ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 11 Bd CALL VOLUME MATRIX TABLE#1 For Public Safety Answering Points that Perform Call Taking and Dispatching Number of Needed Alarms per Year Telecommunicators Less than 731 1* 731 to 10,000 �.� 2 10,001 to 25,000 4 25,001 to 50,000 5** 50,001 to 100,000 6'"* 100,001 to 150,000 7**TM 150,001 to 200,000 8** 200,001 to 250,000 9** 250,001 to 300,000 10** Over 300,000*" 11** CALL VOLUME MATRIX TABLE#2 For Public Safety Answering Points that Perform Call Taking Without Dispatching Number of Needed Alarms per Year Telecommunicators Less than 10,001 1 10,001 to 50,000 2 50,001 to 100,000 4** 100,001 to 150,000 5** 150,001 to 200,000 6** 200,001 to 250,000 7** 250,001 to 300,000 8 ` Over 300,000*** 9** *Communication centers that provide emergency medical dispatching(EMD)protocols need two telecommunicators on duty at all times. **Includes a supervisor in the communication center. ***For every 10 additional calls(alarms)that are averaged per hour(87,600 calls per year), one additional telecommunicator is added. (NS()Properties,Inc,2007 Page 12 015 To determine the score for Item 422, two sub-Items (421.A and 421.B) need to be summed. The details are as follows: Earned Credit Item 421 -"Review of Operators(P0)" Credit Available A. Number of operators on duty(OD): 80.00 80 For maximum credit, there should be 7 operators on duty at all times. There are an average of 7.00 operators on duty at the communication center. B. Number of operators awake at all times(OA): 20.00 20 For maximum credit, all operators should be awake at all times. There is an average of 7.00 operators awake at all times. Review of Operators(PO)total: 100.00 100 After the items "OD" and "OA" are summed up to determine the points received for the "Review of Operators", the sum is divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the three points available for the "Credit for Operators (CTO)". The points calculated for Orchid for this item are: CTO=3.00 points Item 432-Credit for Dispatch Circuits The third item reviewed is Item 432 "Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC). This item reviews the dispatch circuit facilities used to transmit alarms to fire department members. A "Dispatch Circuit" is defined in NFPA 1221 as "A circuit over which an alarm is retransmitted automatically or manually from the communication center to an emergency response facility" (fire station or fire department member). All fire departments (except single tire station departments with full-time firefighter personnel receiving alarms directly at the fire station) need adequate means of notifying all firefighter personnel of the location of reported structure fires. The dispatch circuit facilities should be in accordance with the general criteria of NFPA 1221. "Alarms"are defined in this Standard as"A signal or message from a person or device indicating the existence of a fire, medical emergency or other situation that requires fire department action". There are two different levels of dispatch circuit facilities provided for in the Standard — a primary dispatch circuit and a secondary dispatch circuit. In jurisdictions that receive over 730 alarms or more per year (average of two alarms per 24-hour period), two separate and dedicated dispatch circuits, a primary and a secondary, are needed. In jurisdictions receiving fewer than 730 alarms per year, a second dedicated dispatch circuit is not needed. Dispatch circuit facilities installed but not used or tested (in accordance with the NFPA Standard) receive no credit. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 13 Cal Your score for Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC) is influenced by monitoring the integrity of the primary dispatch circuit. There are up to 1.5 points available for this Item. Monitoring for integrity involves installing automatic systems that will detect faults and failures and send visual and audible indications to appropriate communications center (or dispatch center) personnel. ISO uses NFPA 1221 to guide the evaluation of this item. Additional points are available for dispatch recording facilities at the Communication Center. All alarms that are transmitted over the required dispatch circuits need to be automatically recorded (including the dates and times of transmission) to earn the maximum points in this item. ISO's evaluation includes a review of the communication system's emergency power supplies. To receive maximum credit, two sources of power need to be provided for the operation of the communications network including dispatch circuits and its related support systems and equipment. A common arrangement is to have the primary power come from a utility distribution system and a secondary power source from an automatic starting emergency engine-generator and/or an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Battery System--(SEPSS-Stored Emergency Power Supply Systems). To determine the score for Item 432,four sub items (Item 431 A, Item 431.B, Item 431.0 and Item 431.D)needed to be evaluated. The criterion is as follows: 10) ©4S0 Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 14 I�-1 The score that Orchid received for Item 432 was calculated as follows: Earned Credit Item 432-"Credit for Dispatch Circuits(CDC)" Credit Available Item 431A-"Dispatch Circuits Provided" 26.60 40 The points are determined by prorating the value of the type of dispatch circuit using the percentage of members dependent upon each circuit. Item 431B-"Monitoring for Integrity of Circuit" 30.00 30 For maximum credit,the dispatch circuit should have an automatic system that will detect faults and failures and send visual and audible indications to appropriate personnel. Item 431C-"Dispatch Recording Facilities at Communication 5.00 10 Center" For maximum credit, all alarms that are transmitted over the required dispatch circuits need to be automatically recorded. Item 431D-"Emergency Power Supply" 20.00 20 For maximum credit, emergency power supplies need to be provided and regularly tested. Item 431E-'When no circuit is needed" 0.00 100 If all responding fire fighters are in the same building as the communication center and are alerted, no dispatch circuit is needed and the maximum points are credited. However, the community does not operate in this fashion. Dispatch Circuits(DC)total: 86.60 100 After the Items in 431 are summed up to determine the points received for the "Credit for Dispatch Circuits", the sum is divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the five points available for the "Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC)". The points calculated for Orchid for this item are: CDC =4.35 points ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 15 /a� The final step in determining the credit for"Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms" is to add up the following three components: Earned Credit Item Credit Available 414. Credit for Telephone Service(CTS) 2.00 2 422. Credit for Operators (CTO) 3.00 3 432. Credit for Dispatch Circuits(CDC) 4.35 5 Total Credit: 9.35 10 If the score Orchid achieved for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms was translated into a 100 point scale instead of the 10 points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a (relative) Class 1. Fire Department Fifty percent of a community's overall score is based upon the fire departments structure fire suppression system. ISO's field representative evaluated: • Engine and ladder/service vehicles including reserve apparatus • Equipment carried • Distribution of fire companies • Available and/or responding firefighters • Automatic Aid with neighboring fire departments • Training Item 501 -Basic Fire Flow The Basic Fire Flow for the community is determined by the review of the needed fire flows for selected buildings in the community. The following building addresses were used to determine the Basic Fire Flow: • 6500 gpm 695 South Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 6000 gpm 2810 Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 6000 gpm 1657-1791 94 Drive, Indian River Co Fd • 5000 gpm 2008-2182 58 Avenue, Indian River Co Fd • 5000 gpm 1396 Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd The fifth largest needed fire flow is determined to be the Basic Fire Flow. The maximum that the Basic Fire Flow can be is 3500 gpm. The Basic Fire Flow for Orchid has been determined to be 3500 gpm. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 16 I�� Item 513-Credit for Engine Companies The first item reviewed is Item 513 "Credit for Engine Companies". This item reviews the number of engine companies, their pump capacity, hose testing, pump testing and the equipment carried on the in-service pumpers. To be recognized, pumper apparatus must meet the general criteria of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus which include a minimum 250 gpm pump, an emergency warning system, a 300 gallon water tank and hose. The review of the number of needed pumpers considers the Basic Fire Flow; the response distance to built-upon areas; the method of operation; and the response outside the city. Item 501.A. Number of Needed Engine Companies(NE): BASIC FIRE FLOW, GPM ENGINE COMPANIES 500 - 1,000 1 1,250 - 2,500 2 3,000 - 3,500 3 For maximum credit, the FSRS indicates that 20 engine companies are needed in the fire district. This number is calculated as follows: The greater of a) 3 engine companies to support a Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm. b) 20 engine companies to provide fire suppression services to areas with a reasonable population of properties without a responding fire station within 11/4 miles. c) 3 engine companies based upon the method of operation of the fire department. The FSRS recognizes that there are 11 engine companies in service. For maximum credit in the FSRS, at least two engine companies should respond for all reported first alarms for fires in buildings. The credit for engine companies has been reduced by 0.0 percent because the FSRS review deemed there is an adequate response to all reported fires in the district. For each engine, ISO reviews the pump capacity as indicated by a pumper test, the hose (including hose testing)and the equipment carried. For maximum credit in the schedule, pumper service tests must be done annually and documented. ISO evaluates the pumper service tests using NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of In-service Automotive Fire Apparatus. This Standard indicates that the service tests should be conducted for. - 20 minutes @ 100%capacity at 150 psi - 10 minutes @ 70%capacity at 200 psi - 10 minutes @ 50%capacity at 250 psi Other factors such as the "overload test" are not evaluated in the FSRS and are not required for FSRS credit. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 17 For maximum credit in the schedule, hose tests must be performed annually and documented. ISO evaluates a hose testing program using NFPA 1962, Standard for the Inspection, Care and Use of Fire Hose, Couplings and Nozzles and the Service Testing of Fire Hose. Multiple jacket-lined hose manufactured prior to July, 1987 must be service tested at 250 psi. Relay supply hose that is 3%inch to 5 inch should be tested at 200 psi and 5 inch to 6 inch relay supply hose should be tested at 150 psi. Hose that has been manufactured in July, 1987 and after should be tested to the service test pressure the manufacturer stenciled on the hose. All hose should be serviced tested for a minimum of 3 minutes. The FSRS also reviews Automatic Aid. Automatic Aid is considered in the review as assistance dispatched automatically by contractual agreement between two communities or fire districts. That differs from mutual aid or assistance arranged case by case. ISO will recognize an Automatic Aid plan under the following conditions: • It must be prearranged for first-alarm response according to a definite plan. It is preferable to have a written agreement, but ISO may recognize demonstrated performance. • The aid must be dispatched to reported structure fires on the initial alarm. • The aid must be provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. • The aid must offset a need in the community ISO is surveying. For example, if a community needs a ladder company and the fire department does not have one, but a neighboring community's ladder company responds by Automatic Aid agreement, credit may be available. • The aiding ladder company must cover at least 50% of the needed ladder company Standard Response District by hydrant count in the community being graded. FSRS Item 512.D "Automatic Aid Engine Companies" responding on first alarm and meeting the needs of the city for basic fire flow and/or distribution of companies are factored based upon the value of the Automatic Aid plan (up to 0.90 can be used as the factor). The Automatic Aid factor is determined by a review of the Automatic Aid provider's communication facilities, how they receive alarms from your community, inter-department training with your fire department and the fire ground communications capability with your department. For each engine company, the credited Pump Capacity (PC), the Hose Carried (HC), the Equipment Carried (EC) and a factor for an overweight apparatus all contribute to the calculation for the percent of credit the FSRS provides to that engine company. After the Items in 512 are summed to determine the points received for the "In Service Total (EC)", the sum is divided by the total possible points (654 or 554) and then multiplied by the Needed Engine Companies (NE). Next, this is multiplied by the appropriate factor representing the percent of built-upon area of the city with first alarm response of one or two engine companies. Finally, this product is multiplied by the 10 points available for the "Credit for Engine Companies (CEC)"to determine the final score for this item. The points calculated for Orchid for this item were: CEC=5.23 points ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 18 car Item 523-Credit for Reserve Pumpers The second pumper item reviewed is Item 523 "Credit for Reserve Pumpers (CRP)". This item reviews the number and adequacy of the pumpers and their equipment with one (or more in larger communities) pumper out of service. The number of needed reserve pumpers is 1 for each 8 needed engine companies determined in Item 513, or any fraction thereof. The number of reserve pumpers credited in this item will not exceed the number of needed reserve pumpers. If only one reserve pumper is needed, and more than one reserve pumper is provided in the city, only the best equipped reserve pumper will be credited. Reserve pumpers are reviewed for pump capacity, hose carried, and equipment in the same manner as described in Item 512 except that Automatic Aid reserve pumpers are not considered. The value of the Reserve Pumper Credit (RPC) is determined by multiplying the credited Pump Capacity (PC) times the credit for the Hose Carried (HC) times the credit for the Equipment Carried (EC)times the factor for an overweight apparatus. After the items in 521 are factored to determine the points received for each reserve pumper, the reserve pumper with the largest points is selected for the Reserve Pumper Credit (RPC). The value for RPC is added to the value in Item 512 determined above. Next, the best equipped in-service pumper is subtracted from the in-service and reserve total. The difference is then divided by the total the possible points (654 or 554) times the Needed Engine Companies (NE). Finally, this quotient is multiplied by the 1 point available for the "Credit for Reserve Pumpers (CRP)". These points calculated for Orchid resulted in the following: CRP=0.51 points Item 530—Credit for Pump Capacity The next item reviewed is Item 532 "Credit for Pumper Capacity (CPC)". The total pump capacity available should be sufficient for the Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm in Orchid. The maximum needed pump capacity credited is the Basic Fire Flow of the community. The pump capacity is obtained by test at the rated pump pressure. Credit is limited to 80 percent of rated capacity if no test data is available within two years of the survey date. Less than 80 percent may be credited if other mechanical features of the apparatus indicate a generally poor mechanical condition. The existing pump capacity (EP) represents the capacity of in-service pumpers, pumper- ladder, and pumper-service trucks that were credited in Item 513. The reserve pump capacity (RP) is that capacity of reserve pumpers, reserve pumper-ladder, and pumper-service trucks that were credited in Item 523. One-half the capacity of permanently-mounted pumps capable of delivering at least 50 gpm at 150 psi on other apparatus, reserve pumpers and reserve pumper-ladder and reserve pumper-service trucks not credited in Items 513 or 523 is credited in this item.This capacity is expressed as"OP". Automatic Aid pumper capacity is that capacity of pumpers credited as Automatic Aid in Item 513. The capacity credited does not exceed the percent determined by the value of the Automatic Aid plan determined in Item 512.D multiplies by the creditable pump capacity for each Automatic Aid pumper. This capacity is expressed as AAP. BI SO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 19 The sum of the capacities determined for EP, RP, OP, and AAP above is 19500 gpm. The FSRS limits the total capacity to the Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm. Next, this capacity is divided by the Basic Fire Flow. Finally, this factor is multiplied by the 5 points available for the "Credit for Pumper Capacity (CPC)". The points calculated for Orchid for this item were as follows: CPC=5.00 points Item 549—Credit for Ladder Service ISO establishes a "Credit for Ladder Service (CLS)" (FSRS Item 549). This item reviews the number of response areas within the city with 5 buildings that are 3 or more stories or 35 feet or more in height, or with 5 buildings that have a Needed Fire Flow greater than 3500 gpm, or any combination of this criteria. The height of all buildings in the city, including those protected by automatic sprinklers, is considered when determining the number of needed ladder companies. When no individual response area alone needs a ladder company, at least one ladder company is needed if buildings in the city meet the above criteria. Ladders, tools and equipment normally carried on ladder trucks are needed not only for ladder operations but also for forcible entry, ventilation, salvage, overhaul, lighting and utility control. When long ladders are not needed in a community due to low height of buildings, the other support services tools and equipment are still needed. The number and type of apparatus is dependent upon the height of buildings, needed fire flow and response distance. Response areas not needing a ladder company should have a service company. A service company is an apparatus with some or all of the equipment identified in Table 544.A (see the following pages). The number of ladder or service companies, the height of the aerial ladder, aerial ladder testing and the equipment carried on the in-service ladder trucks and service trucks is compared with the number of needed ladder trucks and service trucks and an FSRS equipment list(Table 544 A, B, and C). Ladder trucks must meet the general criteria of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus to be recognized. The number of needed ladder-service trucks is dependent upon the number of buildings 3 stories or 35 feet or more in height, buildings with a Needed Fire Flow greater than 3500 gpm, the response distance to built-upon areas, the method of operation and the response outside the city. For maximum credit in the Schedule, 2 ladder companies are needed in your district. This is calculated as follows: The greater of: a) 2 ladder companies due to the number of buildings over 3500 gpm or 3 stories in height or the method of operation. Plus b) 0 additional ladder companies because 10% or less of the responses outside of the district result in a reduction of the ladder companies left in the district to 50%or less of the normal strength level. We have recognized 1.5 ladder companies. ciSO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 20 133 For maximum credit in the Schedule, a ladder or service company should respond on first alarms to all reported fires in buildings. It was determined the ladder or service company response is to 100% of first alarm fires in buildings. For maximum credit in the Schedule, 2 service companies are needed in your district. This need is calculated as follows: 2 service companies due to the lack of 5 or more buildings in response areas with a needed fire flow of over 3,500 gpm or 3 stories in height; or due to the method of operation. We have recognized 1.5 service companies. Tests and sample forms for recording tests for aerial ladder and elevating platforms are described in NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of In-service Automotive Fire Apparatus. If a ladder company is needed,the available equipment items in Table 544.A are summed to determine the points received for a Service Company, and available equipment items in Table 544.6 are summed to determine the additional equipment points available for a Ladder Company. Table 544.A and 544.B points are added together to determine the total possible points available out of a possible 784 points. If a service company is needed, the available equipment items are summed in Table 544.A. If additional ground ladders are needed for the service company, the assigned points for each available ground ladder up to 4 (from Table 544.B) are added to the points determined in Table 544.A. All ladder company equipment, available service company equipment, available engine- ladder company equipment and available engine-service company equipment are summed. This sum is then divided by the sum of 784 points multiplied by the Needed Ladder(NL) plus 334 points multiplied by the Needed Service (NS) companies plus any points assigned for any additional ladders from Table 544.B. Next, this factor is multiplied by the appropriate factor (A) representing the percent of built- upon area of the city with first alarm response of a ladder, service, engine-ladder or engine- service company to fires in buildings. Finally, this product is multiplied by the 5 points available for the "Credit for Ladder Service (CLS)". The points calculated for Orchid resulted in the following: CLS=2.71 points Item 553--Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks The next item reviewed is Item 553"Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks (CRLS)". This item considers the adequacy of ladder and service apparatus when one (or more in larger communities) of these apparatus are out of service. The number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks is 1 for each 8 needed ladder and service companies that were determined to be needed in Item 540, or any fraction thereof. When 8 or less ladder and service companies are needed, and 1 or more ladder companies are needed, the reserve truck should be a ladder truck. When the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks exceeds the number of needed reserve ladder trucks, the difference is considered as needed reserve service trucks. VSO Properties,Inc,2007 Page 21 3 L The number of in-service ladder and service trucks considered out of service is determined by the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks. The in-service ladder and service trucks credited in Item 549 having the largest number of points is what is considered as out of service. The equipment on credited reserve ladder and service trucks shall be reviewed by application of Tables 544.A, 544.6 and 544.C. The number of reserve ladder trucks credited in this item shall not exceed the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks. If only one reserve ladder is needed, and if more than one reserve ladder or service truck is provided in the city, only the best equipped reserve ladder or service truck will be credited. All ladder company equipment, available service company equipment, available engine- ladder company equipment and available engine-service company equipment are summed. After the points for all reserve ladder and service equipment is determined, the reserve ladder service truck with the largest points is selected. This value is added to the value of all in- service ladder and service company equipment determined in Item 549. Next, the best equipped in-service ladder or service truck is subtracted from the in-service and reserve total. The difference is then divided by the total possible points for a ladder truck (784) times the Needed Ladder(NL) plus the total possible points (334)times the Needed Service (NS) plus any assigned points for any additional ladders needed from Table 544.6. Finally, this quotient is multiplied by the 1 point available for the "Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks(CRLS)". The credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks was calculated for Orchid as follows: CRLS=0.33 points Item 561 —Credit for Distribution Next, Item 561 "Credit for Distribution (CD)" is reviewed. This Item examines the number and adequacy of existing engine and ladder-service companies to cover built-upon areas of the city. The built-upon area of the city should have a first-due engine company within 11/2 miles and a ladder-service company within 2%miles. To determine the Credit for Distribution, we begin by selecting certain values that have already been determined in the evaluation process. Existing Engine Company (EC) points and the Existing Engine Companies (EE) determined in Item 513 are considered along with Ladder Company Equipment (LCE) points, Service Company Equipment (SCE) points, Engine-Ladder Company Equipment (ELCE) points, and Engine-Service Company Equipment(ESCE) points determined in Item 549. A company distribution study is conducted using a base map of the city drawn to scale. All named and numbered streets are depicted as well as all fire hydrant locations. The in-service engine company and in-service ladder and service company locations are plotted on the map. Using the prevailing map scale a 11/2 mile polygon is drawn around each in-service engine company location and a 2% mile polygon is drawn around each in-service ladder and service company location. Since the fire hydrant locations are indicative of growth and development they are used as a surrogate to quantify built-upon areas. All fire hydrants located within 1%mile polygons are counted and summed. 0180 Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 22 35 This number is divided by the total number of fire hydrants in the city and multiplied by 100 to determine the percent of built-upon area within 1% miles of an existing engine company. Similarly, all fire hydrants located within 2% mile polygons are counted and summed. This number is divided by the total number of fire hydrants in the city and multiplied by 100 to determine the percent of built-upon area within 21,6 miles of existing ladder and service companies. The points calculated for Credit for Distribution for Orchid resulted in the following: CD=1.57 points Item 571 --Credit for Company Personnel Item 571 "Credit for Company Personnel (CCP)" reviews the average number of existing fire fighter and company officer personnel available to respond to reported "first alarm structure fires"in the city. For on-duty strength, the total number of members on duty with companies is taken as the yearly average considering vacations, sick leave, holidays, "Kelley"days and other absences. When your fire department operates under a "minimum staffing" policy and sufficient funds are allocated in the fire department budget to hire back personnel from the off-shift to maintain the minimum staffing, ISO will use the minimum staffing in lieu of figuring an average. Members on apparatus not credited under Items 513 and 549 that regularly respond to reported first alarms to aid engine, ladder and service companies are included in this item as increasing the total company strength. Personnel staffing ambulances or other units serving the general public are credited if they participate in fire-fighting operations,the number depending upon the extent to which they are available and are used for response to first alarms of fire. Call and volunteer members (VM) are credited on the basis of the average number staffing apparatus on first alarms. Off-shift paid members responding on first alarms are considered on the same basis as call and volunteer members. For personnel not normally at the fire station, the value of responding members is divided by 3 to reflect the time needed to assemble at the fire scene and the fractured ability to act as a team due to the various arrival times at the fire location when compared to the personnel on duty at the fire station during the receipt of an alarm. While Public Safety Officers do not represent the ability to respond from a single location as a team, they are positioned in emergency vehicles within the jurisdiction boundaries. In recognition of this increased response capability the value of responding members is divided by 2. Call and volunteer members sleeping at fire stations are considered as on-duty members for the proportional time that they at the fire station. The average number of personnel responding with those companies credited as Automatic Aid under Items 513 and 549 are considered for either on-duty or volunteer personnel as is appropriate. The actual number is calculated as the average number of personnel responding multiplied by the value of AA Plan determined in Item 512.D. The maximum credit for any response of on-duty and call members are 12 fire fighters, including company officers, for each existing engine and ladder company and 6 for each existing service company. ( SO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 23 13(o The FSRS recognizes an average of 39.61 on-duty personnel and 0.00 volunteers respond on first alarm to structure fires.

A deduction of up to 20 points (20% for each Item)is made for a lack of records. A deduction of 10% is made for incomplete records and 20%for no records for each sub item. A total of 0.00 points is deducted to reflect a deficiency of record keeping for Orchid. Finally, this sum is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the 9 points available for the"Credit for Training(CT)". These points calculated for Orchid resulted in the following: CT=5.94 points MSO Properties,Inc..2007 Page 28 The final step in determining the Credit for Fire Department is to add up the following eight components: Earned Credit Item Credit Available 513. Credit for Engine Companies(CEC) 5.23 10 523. Credit for Reserve Pumpers (CRP) 0.51 1 532. Credit for Pumper Capacity(CPC) 5.00 5 549. Credit for Ladder Service(CLS) 2.71 5 553.

Credit for Training(CT) 5.94 9 Total Credit 28.36 50 If the score Orchid achieved for the fire department was translated into a 100-point scale instead of the 50-points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a (relative) Class 5. Water Supply Forty percent of a community's overall score is based on the adequacy of the water supply system. The ISO field representative evaluated: • representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes(needed fire flow up to 3,500 gpm) • fire hydrants: size,type and installation to determine the capacity of the fire hydrants • hydrants: inspection and condition to review the fire hydrant inspection frequency, the completeness of the inspections and the condition of the hydrants Item 616—Credit for Supply System The first item reviewed was Item 616 "Credit for Supply System (CSS)". This item reviews the rate of flow that can be credited at each of the needed fire flow tests locations considering the supply works capacity, the main capacity and the hydrant distribution. The lowest flow rate of these items is credited for each representative location reviewed. A water system capable of delivering 250 gpm or more for a period of two hours plus consumption at the maximum daily rate at the fire location is considered minimum in the ISO review. To determine the score for Item 616 "Credit for Supply System", three sub items (Item 612 "Supply Works Capacity", Item 613 "Main Capacity" and Item 614 "Hydrant Distribution") need to be evaluated. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 29 d We calculate the supply works capacity for each representative needed fire flow test location. In doing this, ISO considers a variety of water supply sources. These would include public water supplies, emergency supplies (usually accessed from neighboring water systems), suction supplies (usually evidenced by dry hydrant installations near a river, lake or other body of water), and a supply developed by a fire department using large diameter hose or vehicles to shuttle water from a source of supply to a fire site. The result is expressed in gallons per minute(gpm). The normal ability of the distribution system to deliver Needed Fire Flows (NFF) at the selected building locations is reviewed. The results of a flow test at a representative test location will indicate the ability of the water mains (or fire department in the case of fire department supplies)to carry water to that location. The hydrant distribution is reviewed within 1,000 feet of representative test locations measured as hose can be laid by apparatus. Credit is allowed up to 1,000 gpm from each hydrant within 300 feet of the location, 670 gpm from hydrants within 301 to 600 feet of the location and 250 gpm from hydrants within 601 to 1,000 feet of the location. The normal distribution of hydrants in the vicinity of test locations considered in Items 612 and 613 are evaluated. These hydrant distribution allowances are based upon a standard fire hydrant with a pumper outlet conforming to the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard C-502 or C-503. In addition, they are based upon a standard complement of 1,200 feet of 2'/ inch fire hose. If a hose diameter greater than 2% inch is carried by all in-service pumpers, the hydrant distribution credit may be greater than that stated above due to the reduced friction loss in the larger diameter hose. Where there are 2 or more systems or services distributing water at the same location, credit is given on the basis of the joint protection provided by all systems and services available. A. Sub-standard type hydrants with at least one fire department outlet are considered if they are capable of delivering at least 250 gpm. B. A cistern or other suction point must be capable of supplying 250 gpm for at least 2 hours to be recognized. C. The maximum credit for a hydrant may be limited by A or B above and is limited by the number and size of outlets as follows: MAXIMUM CREDIT At least one pumper outlet 1,000 gpm Two or more hose outlets, no pumper outlet 750 gpm One hose outlet only 500 gpm For maximum credit in the FSRS, the needed fire flows should be available at each location in the district. Needed fire flows of 2,500 gpm or less should be available for 2 hours; and needed fire flows of 3,000 and 3,500 gpm should be obtainable for 3 hours. A variety of buildings were used as representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes(needed fire flow). The points calculated for Orchid resulted in the following: CSS=35.00 CISO Properties,Inc..2007 Page 30 N3 Item 621 —Credit for Hydrants The second item reviewed is Item 621 "Credit for Hydrants (CH)". This item reviews the number of fire hydrants of each type compared with the total number of hydrants. For maximum credit in the FSRS, all hydrants should have a pumper outlet, 6 inch or larger branch connection, uniform size operating nut and should operate in a uniform direction in accordance with AWWA C-502 Standard for Dry-Barrel Fire Hydrants or AWWA C-503 Standard for Wet-Barrel Fire Hydrants. For maximum credit, all suction supply points should be equipped with a dry hydrant with a 6 inch or larger pipe and fittings, a minimum number of 90 degree elbows (preferably no more than two), and suction screen placement so that the dry hydrant will deliver the design capacity (usually 1,000 gpm) as specified in NFPA 1142, Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting.

Of the 42 hydrants that were reviewed, 0% did not operate in the direction of the majority and 0% had a different size operating nut. Note 2: 10 points are deducted if more than one type hose thread is used for pumper or hose outlets. Of the 42 hydrants that were reviewed, none had a different hose thread than the majority. There were no points deducted for this item. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 31 I L/ q To determine your "Credit for Hydrants", the points credited in Item 620.A though 680.F are summed. A deduction of 2 points is made for each 10% of hydrants not operating in a uniform direction of the majority, or with an operating nut different from the majority. A deduction of 10 points is also made if more than one thread is used for pumper or hose outlets. The sum is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the 2 points available for the"Credit for Hydrants(CH)". The points calculated for Orchid resulted in the following: CH =2.00 Item 630—Credit for Inspection and Condition The third item reviewed is Item 630 "Credit for Inspection and Condition (CIC)". This item reviews the fire hydrant inspection frequency, the completeness of the inspections and the condition of hydrants. Inspection and condition of hydrants should be in accordance with AWWA M-17, Installation, Field Testing and Maintenance of Fire Hydrants. A. Inspection (HI): The frequency of inspection is the average time interval between the 3 most recent inspections. Frequency of Inspections Points '/year 100 1 year 80 2 years 65 3 years 55 4 years 45 5 years or more 40 Note 1: The points for inspection frequency are reduced by 10 points if the inspections are incomplete or does not include a flushing program. An additional reduction of 10 points are made if hydrants are not subjected to full system pressure during inspections. If the inspection of cisterns or suction points does not include actual drafting with a pumper, or back-flushing for dry hydrants, 40 points are deducted. B. Condition (HF): A factor (HF) is determined from the following list of conditions according to the actual condition of hydrants examined compared with the total number examined during the survey: Condition ._..__...._..__..___ Factor Standard(no leaks, opens easily, conspicuous, well located for use by pumper) 1.0 Usable(with some defects and/or impediments to use) 0.5 Not Usable 0.0 ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 32 f [ 5 For maximum credit in the Schedule, all hydrants should be inspected twice a year.

Credit for Inspection and Condition (CIC) 2.40 3 Total Credit 39.40 40 If the score Orchid achieved for the water supply system was translated into a 100 point scale instead of the 40 points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a(relative) Class 1. Divergence Divergence considers a difference between the protection provided by the Fire Department and the Water Supply. This difference would prevent the better feature from being utilized to its fullest extent. Therefore, an adjustment is made to reflect any difference between these two features. Because of the difference in total weights assigned to the two features, the total for the Fire Department, which has the higher total weight, is adjusted to make the comparison reflect the relative adequacies of the two features. The expression b(CWS)-0.8(CFDA] in the following formula is the Divergence calculation: PPC = [ (CFA + CFD + CWS) - 0.5 (I (CWS) -0.8 (CFD) _]_ 10 PPC = C (9.35 + 28.36 + 39.40) - 0.5 {I (39.40) -0.8 (28.36) I) 10 ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 34 1LI'7 Summary of PuilliSilection Classif1cation Review 011111111M ISO on Mar 09,2009 for chid Earned Credit FSRS Item Credit Available Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms 414.

We analyze the data using our Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRSTM) and then assign a Public Protection Classification (PPCTM) number to the community. The surveys are conducted whenever it appears that there is a possibility of a classification change. As such, the PPC program provides important, up-to- date information about fire protection services throughout the country. A community's investment in fire mitigation is a proven and reliable predictor of future fire losses. Statistical data on insurance losses bears out the relationship between excellent fire protection — as measured by the PPC program — and low fire losses. So, insurance companies use PPC information for marketing, underwriting, and to help establish fair premiums for homeowners and commercial fire insurance. In general, the price of fire insurance in a community with a good PPC is substantially lower than in a community with a poor PPC, assuming all other factors are equal. ISO is an independent company that serves insurance companies, communities, fire departments, insurance regulators, and others by providing information about risk. ISO's expert staff collects information about municipal fire suppression efforts in communities throughout the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data and assigns a Public Protection Classification — a number from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents an exemplary fire suppression program, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire suppression program does not meet ISO's minimum criteria. ISO's PPC program evaluates communities according to a uniform set of criteria, incorporating nationally recognized standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works Association. A community's PPC depends on: ➢ Fire alarm and communication systems, including telephone systems, telephone lines, staffing, and dispatching systems • The fire department including equipment, staffing, training, and geographic distribution of fire companies D. The water supply system, including condition and maintenance of hydrants, alternative water supply operations, and a careful evaluation of the amount of available water compared with the amount needed to suppress fires up to 3,500 gpm. Data Collection and Analysis ISO has evaluated and classified over 44,000 fire protection areas across the United States using its Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). We use a combination of a meeting between a trained ISO field representative and the dispatch center coordinator, community fire official, and water superintendent in conjunction with a comprehensive questionnaire to collect the data necessary to determine the PPC number. In order for a community to obtain a classification better then a Class 9, three elements of fire suppression features are reviewed. These three elements are the fire alarm and communication system, the fire department and the water supply system. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 1 151 A review of the fire alarm and communication system accounts for 10% of the total classification. The review focuses on the community's facilities and support for handling and dispatching fire alarms.This section is weighted at 10 points broken up as follows: • Telephone Service 2 points • Number of Needed Operators 3 points • Dispatch Circuits 5 points A review of the fire department accounts for 50%of the total classification. ISO focuses on a fire department's first-alarm response and initial attack to minimize potential loss. In this section, ISO reviews such items as engine companies, ladder or service companies, distribution of fire stations and fire companies, equipment carried on apparatus, pumping capacity, reserve apparatus, department personnel, and training. The fire department section is weighted at 50 points distributed as follows: • Engine Companies 10 points • Reserve Pumpers 1 point • Pumper Capacity 5 points • Ladder/Service Companies 5 points • Reserve Ladder/Service Trucks 1 point • Distribution of Companies 4 points • Company Personnel 15 points • Training 9 points A review of the water supply system accounts for 40% of the total classification. ISO reviews the water supply a community uses to determine the adequacy for fire-suppression purposes. We also consider hydrant size, type, and installation, as well as the inspection frequency and condition of fire hydrants. The water supply system is weighted at 40 points with concern for the following: • Credit for the Supply System 35 points • Hydrant Size, Type &Installation 2 points • Inspection/Condition of Hydrants 3 points There is one additional factor considered in calculating the final score—Divergence. Even the best fire department will be less than fully effective if it has an inadequate water supply. Similarly, even a superior water supply will be less than fully effective if the fire department lacks the equipment or personnel to use the water. The preliminary FSRS score is subject to modification by a divergence factor, which recognizes disparity between the effectiveness of the fire department and the water supply. The Divergence factor mathematically reduces your preliminary scores if the fire department and water-supply scores are out of line with each other. The factor is introduced in the final equation. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 2 Public Protection Classification Number The PPC number assigned to the community will depend on the community's score on a 100- point scale: PPC Points 1 90.00 or more 2 80.00 to 89.99 3 70.00 to 79.99 4 60.00 to 69.99 5 50.00 to 59.99 6 40.00 to 49.99 7 30.00 to 39.99 8 20.00 to 29.99 9 10.00 to 19.99 10 0.00 to 9.99 The classification numbers are interpreted as follows: • Class 1 through (and including) Class 8 represents a fire suppression system that includes an FSRS creditable dispatch center,fire department and water supply. • Class 8B is a special classification that recognizes a superior level of fire protection in otherwise Class 9 areas. It is designed to represent a fire protection delivery system that is superior except for a lack of a water supply system capable of the minimum FSRS fire flow criteria of 250 gpm for 2-hours. • Class 9 is a fire suppression system that includes a creditable dispatch center,fire department but no FSRS creditable water supply. • Class 10 does not meet minimum FSRS criteria for recognition. ISO develops a single Public Protection Classification for a community when 85% or more of the buildable area is served by a water supply capable of delivering 250 gpm of fire flow, uninterrupted, for a minimum period of 2-hours, and there are no areas beyond 5 road miles of the responding fire station. Under this condition, all of the structures in the community receive that classification. Over 60% of the communities ISO has evaluated do not have this capability, so ISO develops a split classification (for example, 5/9). When a split classification is published the first class (Class 5 in the example) applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant. The second class (Class 9 in the example) applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station but beyond 1,000 feet of a hydrant. ISO generally assigns Class 10 to properties beyond 5 road miles. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 3 L 53 Distribution of Public Protection Classification Numbers The 2008 published countrywide distribution of communities by the Public Protection Classification number is as follows: Countrywide 16,000 14,000 13611 12,000 - 10,000 8778 7749 8,000 6057 6,000 - 4403 4,000 - 2,000 1878 2409 1524 644 67 538 Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8B 9 10 The 2008 published distribution of communities by the Public Protection Classification number is as follows: Florida 180 160 160 140 - 133 137 123 120 i I 100 80 73__ 65 60 40 31 21 20 - 8 10 4 0 - I 1 , 7 - 1 T 1 .

Classification Details Public Protection Classification On Mar 09, 2009 ISO concluded its review of the fire suppression features being provided for/by Sebastian. The resulting classification is a Class 4. If the classification is a single class, the classification applies to all properties in the community. If the classification is a"split'class(e.g.,6/9), the following applies: s The first class (e.g., "6" in a 6/9) applies to properties within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant or alternate water supply. > Class 8B or class 9 applies to properties beyond 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant but within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station. Y Alternative Water Supply: The first class (e.g., "6" in a 6/10) applies to all properties within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station with no hydrant distance requirement. > Class 10 applies to properties over 5-road miles of a recognized fire station. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 5 ISS Summary Evaluation Analysis The following points represent the analysis of the application of the criterion outlined in the FSRS of four topics- Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms, Fire Department, Water Supply and the Divergence factor for Sebastian: Earned Credit FSRS Feature Credit Available Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms 414.Credit for Telephone Service 2.00 2 422.Credit for Operators 3.00 3 432.Credit for Dispatch Circuits 4.35 5 440.Credit for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms 9.35 10 Fire Department 513.Credit for Engine Companies 5.23 10 523.Credit for Reserve Pumpers 0.51 1 532.Credit for Pumper Capacity 5.00 5 549.

To establish the points for each category, FSRS items labeled as "Credit for..." are totaled. These particular items are intermediate values. Often these intermediate values are based upon a 100-point scale, but they can be more (e.g., 654 for Item 513, "Credit for Engine Companies"). The ratios between the actual points scored in each of these subsections and 100 (or, as in Item 513, other scale number)are then multiplied by the points available for the subsection. For instance, Item 414"Credit for Telephone Service" is valued at 2-points. To determine the credit earned, the totals for Item 411 "Review of Telephone Lines" (TL), Item 412"Review of Telephone Directory" (TD), and Item 413 "Review of Recording Device" (RD) are summed. In Item 411, up to 60-points can accrue; Item 412 has a combined value of 20-points; and 20- points are available for Item 413. The sum of these three Items is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the 2-point weight in Item 414 to determine the final score for "Credit for Telephone Service(CTS)". The formula for Item 414"Credit for Telephone Service(CTS)"looks like this: CTS =TS x 2 100 Where TS=TL+TD+RD Detailed Evaluation Analysis On the following pages are the scoring details of each category of the evaluation of Sebastian. These details relate only to the fire insurance classification of your jurisdiction. They are not for property loss prevention or life safety purposes and no life safety or property loss recommendations are made. At the end of the scoring details for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms, Fire Department, and Water Supply the relative class is indicated. The relative class represents the classification each category would have achieved if the individual score was translated into a 100-point scale instead of the points available for that category. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 7 Receiving and Handling of Fire Alarms Ten percent of a community's overall score is based on how well the communications center receives and dispatches fire alarms.Our field representative evaluated: • the telephone service, including the number of telephone lines coming into the center • the listing of the emergency number and business number in the telephone directory • the automatic recording of emergency calls • the communications center, including the number of operators on duty and awake at the center • the dispatch circuits and how the center notifies firefighters about the location of the emergency Note: This evaluation includes information from multiple PSAP's (Public Safety Answering Points), the least creditable PSAP is used for the calculation of each Item under Receiving and Handling of Fire Alarms. Item 414-Credit for Telephone Service The first item reviewed is Item 414 "Credit for Telephone Service". This item reviews the facilities provided for the public to report fires including the telephone line used to report an emergency, business and private alarm lines including progression of emergency calls to business lines. Also analyzed is the listing of fire and business numbers in the telephone directory and the automatic recording of emergency calls. ISO uses National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems as the reference for this section. To determine the score for Item 414, three sub-items (Item 411, Item 412, and Item 413) needed to be evaluated. The details are as follows: ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 8 i5 � Earned Credit Item 411 -"Review of Telephone Lines(TL)" Credit Available A. Number of needed fire Tines" 25.00 25 For maximum credit,there should be 6 incoming telephone lines reserved for receiving notification of fires.

Number of needed fire, business,and private alarm 25.00 25 lines* For maximum credit,there should be 6 incoming lines reserved for notification of fires(and other emergency calls) plus 1 additional line for conducting other fire department business and, if applicable,for private alarms. The Communication Centers serving Sebastian have 1 line in addition to the 21 lines reserved for receiving notification of fires (and other emergency calls). The telephone directory listed both a business and an emergency number. C. Progression of emergency calls to business lines 10.00 10 For maximum credit, unanswered emergency calls should progress to the business number. D.

Review of Telephone Lines(TL)total: 60.00 60 *Note:When only one telephone number is listed in the telephone directory the telephone lines provided can not be reserved for emergency calls because the general public is not given a choice of telephone lines to use. Therefore, the operator/telecommunicator must accept both emergency and business calls over the same lines. The number of needed fire, business, and alarm lines will show a reduction in credit. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 9 159 Earned Credit Item 412-"Review of Telephone Directory(TD)" Credit Available A.

The points calculated for Sebastian for this item are: CTS=2.00 points Item 422-Credit for Operators The second item reviewed is Item 422 "Credit for Operators (CTO)". This item reviews the number of operators on duty and awake at the center to handle fire calls and other emergencies. All emergency calls including those calls that do not require fire department action are reviewed to determine the proper staffing to answer emergency calls and dispatch the appropriate emergency response. NFPA 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems, recommends that ninety-five percent of emergency calls shall be answered within 15 seconds and ninety-nine percent of emergency calls shall be answered within 40 seconds. In addition, NFPA recommends that ninety-five percent of emergency calls shall be dispatched within 60 seconds and ninety-nine percent of calls shall be dispatched within 90 seconds of answering the call. To receive full credit for operators on duty, ISO must review documentation to show that your communication center meets NFPA 1221 call answering and dispatch time performance measurement standards. This documentation may be in the form of performance statistics or other performance measurements compiled by the 9-1-1 software or other software programs that you are currently using such as Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) or Management Information System (MIS). If the necessary data is not available, the number of needed operators will be determined by specification criteria using a "Call Volume Matrix Table"(see the following page). ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 11 CALL VOLUME MATRIX TABLE#1 For Public Safety Answering Points that Perform Call Taking and Dispatching Number of Needed Alarms per Year Telecommunicators Less than 731 1* 731 to 10,000 2 10,001 to 25,000 4** 25,001 to 50,000 5** 50,001 to 100,000 6** 100,001 to 150,000 7** 150,001 to 200,000 8** 200,001 to 250,000 9** 250,001 to 300,000 10"* _ Over 300,000*** 11 �_. *" CALL VOLUME MATRIX TABLE#2 For Public Safety Answering Points that Perform Call Taking Without Dispatching Number of Needed Alarms per Year Telecommunicators Less than 10,001 1 10,001 to 50,000 2_. 50,001 to 100,000 4** 100,001 to 150,000 5** 150,001 to 200,000 6** 200,001 to 250,000 7** �v 250,001 to 300,000 8** Over 300,000*"" -- _ 9** *Communication centers that provide emergency medical dispatching(EMD)protocols need two telecommunicators on duty at all times. **Includes a supervisor in the communication center. ***For every 10 additional calls(alarms)that are averaged per hour(87,600 calls per year), one additional telecommunicator is added. OISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 12 To determine the score for Item 422, two sub-Items(421.A and 421.B) need to be summed. The details are as follows: Earned Credit Item 421 -"Review of Operators(PO)" Credit Available A. Number of operators on duty(OD): 80.00 80 For maximum credit, there should be 7 operators on duty at all times.There are an average of 7.00 operators on duty at the communication center. B. Number of operators awake at all times(OA): 20.00 20 For maximum credit, all operators should be awake at all times. There is an average of 7.00 operators awake at all times. Review of Operators(PO)total: 100.00 100 After the items "OD" and "OA" are summed up to determine the points received for the "Review of Operators", the sum is divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the three points available for the "Credit for Operators (CTO)". The points calculated for Sebastian for this item are: CTO=3.00 points Item 432-Credit for Dispatch Circuits The third item reviewed is Item 432"Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC). This item reviews the dispatch circuit facilities used to transmit alarms to fire department members. A "Dispatch Circuit" is defined in NFPA 1221 as "A circuit over which an alarm is retransmitted automatically or manually from the communication center to an emergency response facility" (fire station or fire department member). All fire departments (except single fire station departments with full-time firefighter personnel receiving alarms directly at the fire station) need adequate means of notifying all firefighter personnel of the location of reported structure fires. The dispatch circuit facilities should be in accordance with the general criteria of NFPA 1221. "Alarms"are defined in this Standard as"A signal or message from a person or device indicating the existence of a fire, medical emergency or other situation that requires fire department action". There are two different levels of dispatch circuit facilities provided for in the Standard — a primary dispatch circuit and a secondary dispatch circuit. In jurisdictions that receive over 730 alarms or more per year (average of two alarms per 24-hour period), two separate and dedicated dispatch circuits, a primary and a secondary, are needed. In jurisdictions receiving fewer than 730 alarms per year, a second dedicated dispatch circuit is not needed. Dispatch circuit facilities installed but not used or tested (in accordance with the NFPA Standard) receive no credit, ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 13 i Your score for Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC) is influenced by monitoring the integrity of the primary dispatch circuit. There are up to 1.5 points available for this Item. Monitoring for integrity involves installing automatic systems that will detect faults and failures and send visual and audible indications to appropriate communications center (or dispatch center) personnel. ISO uses NFPA 1221 to guide the evaluation of this item. Additional points are available for dispatch recording facilities at the Communication Center. All alarms that are transmitted over the required dispatch circuits need to be automatically recorded (including the dates and times of transmission) to earn the maximum points in this item. ISO's evaluation includes a review of the communication system's emergency power supplies. To receive maximum credit, two sources of power need to be provided for the operation of the communications network including dispatch circuits and its related support systems and equipment. A common arrangement is to have the primary power come from a utility distribution system and a secondary power source from an automatic starting emergency engine-generator and/or an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Battery System—(SEPSS-Stored Emergency Power Supply Systems). To determine the score for Item 432, four sub items(Item 431.A, Item 431.8, Item 431.0 and Item 431.D)needed to be evaluated. The criterion is as follows: ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 14 The score that Sebastian received for Item 432 was calculated as follows: Earned Credit Item 432-"Credit for Dispatch Circuits(CDC)" Credit Available item 431A-"Dispatch Circuits Provided" 26.60 40 The points are determined by prorating the value of the type of dispatch circuit using the percentage of members dependent upon each circuit. Item 431E-"Monitoring for Integrity of Circuit" 30.00 30 For maximum credit,the dispatch circuit should have an automatic system that will detect faults and failures and send visual and audible indications to appropriate personnel. Item 431C-"Dispatch Recording Facilities at Communication 5.00 10 Center" For maximum credit, all alarms that are transmitted over the required dispatch circuits need to be automatically recorded. Item 431 D-"Emergency Power Supply" 20.00 20 For maximum credit, emergency power supplies need to be provided and regularly tested. Item 431E-"When no circuit is needed" 0.00 100 If all responding fire fighters are in the same building as the communication center and are alerted, no dispatch circuit is needed and the maximum points are credited. However, the community does not operate in this fashion. Dispatch Circuits(DC)total: 86.60 100 After the Items in 431 are summed up to determine the points received for the "Credit for Dispatch Circuits", the sum is divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the five points available for the "Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC)". The points calculated for Sebastian for this item are: CDC a 4.35 points ..r ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 15 S The final step in determining the credit for"Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms" is to add up the following three components: Earned Credit Item Credit Available 414. Credit for Telephone Service(CTS) 2.00 2 422. Credit for Operators(CTO) 3.00 3 432. Credit for Dispatch Circuits(CDC) 4.35 5 Total Credit: 9.35 10 If the score Sebastian achieved for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms was translated into a 100 point scale instead of the 10 points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a (relative)Class 1. Firs Departs ent Fifty percent of a community's overall score is based upon the fire department's structure fire suppression system. ISO's field representative evaluated: • Engine and ladder/service vehicles including reserve apparatus • Equipment carried • Distribution of fire companies • Available and/or responding firefighters • Automatic Aid with neighboring fire departments • Training Item 501 -Basic Fire Flow The Basic Fire Flow for the community is determined by the review of the needed fire flows for selected buildings in the community. The following building addresses were used to determine the Basic Fire Flow: • 6500 gpm 695 South Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 6000 gpm 2810 Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 6000 gpm 1657-1791 94 Drive, Indian River Co Fd • 5000 gpm 2008-2182 58 Avenue, Indian River Co Fd • 5000 gpm 1396 Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd The fifth largest needed fire flow is determined to be the Basic Fire Flow. The maximum that the Basic Fire Flow can be is 3500 gpm. The Basic Fire Flow for Sebastian has been determined to be 3500 gpm. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 16 (0W Item 513-Credit for Engine Companies The first item reviewed is Item 513 "Credit for Engine Companies". This item reviews the number of engine companies, their pump capacity, hose testing, pump testing and the equipment carried on the in-service pumpers. To be recognized, pumper apparatus must meet the general criteria of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus which include a minimum 250 gpm pump, an emergency warning system, a 300 gallon water tank and hose. The review of the number of needed pumpers considers the Basic Fire Flow; the response distance to built-upon areas;the method of operation; and the response outside the city. Item 501.A.Number of Needed Engine Companies(NE): BASIC FIRE FLOW, GPM ENGINE COMPANIES 500- 1,000 1 1,250-2,500 2 3,000-3,500 3 For maximum credit, the FSRS indicates that 20 engine companies are needed in the fire district. This number is calculated as follows: The greater of: a) 3 engine companies to support a Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm. b) 20 engine companies to provide fire suppression services to areas with a reasonable population of properties without a responding fire station within 1%miles. c) 3 engine companies based upon the method of operation of the fire department. The FSRS recognizes that there are 11 engine companies in service. For maximum credit in the FSRS, at least two engine companies should respond for all reported first alarms for fires in buildings. The credit for engine companies has been reduced by 0.0 percent because the FSRS review deemed there is an adequate response to all reported fires in the district. For each engine, ISO reviews the pump capacity as indicated by a pumper test, the hose (including hose testing)and the equipment carried. For maximum credit in the schedule, pumper service tests must be done annually and documented. ISO evaluates the pumper service tests using NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of In-service Automotive Fire Apparatus. This Standard indicates that the service tests should be conducted for: - 20 minutes @ 100% capacity at 150 psi - 10 minutes @ 70%capacity at 200 psi - 10 minutes @ 50%capacity at 250 psi Other factors such as the`overload test"are not evaluated in the FSRS and are not required for FSRS credit. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 17 For maximum credit in the schedule, hose tests must be performed annually and documented. ISO evaluates a hose testing program using NFPA 1962, Standard for the Inspection, Care and Use of Fire Hose, Couplings and Nozzles and the Service Testing of Fire Hose. Multiple jacket-lined hose manufactured prior to July, 1987 must be service tested at 250 psi. Relay supply hose that is 3%inch to 5 inch should be tested at 200 psi and 5 inch to 6 inch relay supply hose should be tested at 150 psi. Hose that has been manufactured in July, 1987 and after should be tested to the service test pressure the manufacturer stenciled on the hose. All hose should be serviced tested for a minimum of 3 minutes. The FSRS also reviews Automatic Aid. Automatic Aid is considered in the review as assistance dispatched automatically by contractual agreement between two communities or fire districts. That differs from mutual aid or assistance arranged case by case. ISO will recognize an Automatic Aid plan under the following conditions: • It must be prearranged for first-alarm response according to a definite plan. It is preferable to have a written agreement, but ISO may recognize demonstrated performance. • The aid must be dispatched to reported structure fires on the initial alarm. • The aid must be provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. • The aid must offset a need in the community ISO is surveying. For example, if a community needs a ladder company and the fire department does not have one, but a neighboring community's ladder company responds by Automatic Aid agreement, credit may be available. • The aiding ladder company must cover at least 50% of the needed ladder company Standard Response District by hydrant count in the community being graded. FSRS Item 512.D"Automatic Aid Engine Companies" responding on first alarm and meeting the needs of the city for basic fire flow and/or distribution of companies are factored based upon the value of the Automatic Aid plan (up to 0.90 can be used as the factor). The Automatic Aid factor is determined by a review of the Automatic Aid provider's communication facilities, how they receive alarms from your community, inter-department training with your fire department and the fire ground communications capability with your department. For each engine company, the credited Pump Capacity (PC), the Hose Carried (HC), the Equipment Carried (EC) and a factor for an overweight apparatus all contribute to the calculation for the percent of credit the FSRS provides to that engine company. After the Items in 512 are summed to determine the points received for the"In Service Total (EC)", the sum is divided by the total possible points (654 or 554) and then multiplied by the Needed Engine Companies (NE). Next, this is multiplied by the appropriate factor representing the percent of built-upon area of the city with first alarm response of one or two engine companies. Finally, this product is multiplied by the 10 points available for the "Credit for Engine Companies(CEC)"to determine the final score for this item. The points calculated for Sebastian for this item were: CEC =5.23 points ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 18 J6� Item 523-Credit for Reserve Pumpers The second pumper item reviewed is Item 523 "Credit for Reserve Pumpers (CRP)". This item reviews the number and adequacy of the pumpers and their equipment with one (or more in larger communities) pumper out of service. The number of needed reserve pumpers is 1 for each 8 needed engine companies determined in Item 513, or any fraction thereof. The number of reserve pumpers credited in this item will not exceed the number of needed reserve pumpers. If only one reserve pumper is needed, and more than one reserve pumper is provided in the city, only the best equipped reserve pumper will be credited. Reserve pumpers are reviewed for pump capacity, hose carried, and equipment in the same manner as described in Item 512 except that Automatic Aid reserve pumpers are not considered. The value of the Reserve Pumper Credit (RPC) is determined by multiplying the credited Pump Capacity (PC) times the credit for the Hose Carried (HC) times the credit for the Equipment Carried(EC)times the factor for an overweight apparatus. After the items in 521 are factored to determine the points received for each reserve pumper, the reserve pumper with the largest points is selected for the Reserve Pumper Credit(RPC). The value for RPC is added to the value in Item 512 determined above. Next, the best equipped in-service pumper is subtracted from the in-service and reserve total. The difference is then divided by the total the possible points (654 or 554) times the Needed Engine Companies (NE). Finally, this quotient is multiplied by the 1 point available for the "Credit for Reserve Pumpers(CRP)". These points calculated for Sebastian resulted in the following: CRP=0.51 points Item 530—Credit for Pump Capacity The next item reviewed is Item 532 "Credit for Pumper Capacity (CPC)". The total pump capacity available should be sufficient for the Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm in Sebastian. The maximum needed pump capacity credited is the Basic Fire Flow of the community. The pump capacity is obtained by test at the rated pump pressure. Credit is limited to 80 percent of rated capacity if no test data is available within two years of the survey date. Less than 80 percent may be credited if other mechanical features of the apparatus indicate a generally poor mechanical condition. The existing pump capacity (EP) represents the capacity of in-service pumpers, pumper- ladder, and pumper-service trucks that were credited in Item 513. The reserve pump capacity(RP) is that capacity of reserve pumpers, reserve pumper-ladder, and pumper-service trucks that were credited in Item 523. One-half the capacity of permanently-mounted pumps capable of delivering at least 50 gpm at 150 psi on other apparatus, reserve pumpers and reserve pumper-ladder and reserve pumper-service trucks not credited in Items 513 or 523 is credited in this item. This capacity is expressed as"OP". Automatic Aid pumper capacity is that capacity of pumpers credited as Automatic Aid in Item 513. The capacity credited does not exceed the percent determined by the value of the Automatic Aid plan determined in Item 512.D multiplies by the creditable pump capacity for each Automatic Aid pumper. This capacity is expressed as AAP. ®ISO Properties,Ina,2007 Page 19 The sum of the capacities determined for EP, RP, OP, and AAP above is 19500 gpm. The FSRS limits the total capacity to the Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm. Next, this capacity is divided by the Basic Fire Flow. Finally, this factor is multiplied by the 5 points available for the "Credit for Pumper Capacity (CPC)". The points calculated for Sebastian for this item were as follows: CPC=5.00 points Item 549—Credit for Ladder Service ISO establishes a "Credit for Ladder Service (CLS)" (FSRS Item 549). This item reviews the number of response areas within the city with 5 buildings that are 3 or more stories or 35 feet or more in height, or with 5 buildings that have a Needed Fire Flow greater than 3500 gpm, or any combination of this criteria. The height of all buildings in the city, including those protected by automatic sprinklers, is considered when determining the number of needed ladder companies. When no individual response area alone needs a ladder company, at least one ladder company is needed if buildings in the city meet the above criteria. Ladders, tools and equipment normally carried on ladder trucks are needed not only for ladder operations but also for forcible entry, ventilation, salvage, overhaul, lighting and utility control.When long ladders are not needed in a community due to low height of buildings, the other support services tools and equipment are still needed. The number and type of apparatus is dependent upon the height of buildings, needed fire flow and response distance. Response areas not needing a ladder company should have a service company. A service company is an apparatus with some or all of the equipment identified in Table 544.A(see the following pages). The number of ladder or service companies, the height of the aerial ladder, aerial ladder testing and the equipment carried on the in-service ladder trucks and service trucks is compared with the number of needed ladder trucks and service trucks and an FSRS equipment list(Table 544 A, B, and C). Ladder trucks must meet the general criteria of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus to be recognized. The number of needed ladder-service trucks is dependent upon the number of buildings 3 stories or 35 feet or more in height, buildings with a Needed Fire Flow greater than 3500 gpm, the response distance to built-upon areas, the method of operation and the response outside the city. For maximum credit in the Schedule, 2 ladder companies are needed in your district. This is calculated as follows: The greater of: a) 2 ladder companies due to the number of buildings over 3500 gpm or 3 stories in height or the method of operation. Plus b) 0 additional ladder companies because 10% or less of the responses outside of the district result in a reduction of the ladder companies left in the district to 50%or less of the normal strength level. We have recognized 1.5 ladder companies. ®ISO Properties,Ina,2007 Page 20 For maximum credit in the Schedule, a ladder or service company should respond on first alarms to all reported fires in buildings. It was determined the ladder or service company response is to 100%of first alarm fires in buildings. For maximum credit in the Schedule, 2 service companies are needed in your district. This need is calculated as follows: 2 service companies due to the lack of 5 or more buildings in response areas with a needed fire flow of over 3,500 gpm or 3 stories in height; or due to the method of operation. We have recognized 1.5 service companies. Tests and sample forms for recording tests for aerial ladder and elevating platforms are described in NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of in-service Automotive Fire Apparatus. If a ladder company is needed, the available equipment items in Table 544.A are summed to determine the points received for a Service Company, and available equipment items in Table 544.6 are summed to determine the additional equipment points available for a Ladder Company. Table 544.A and 544.B points are added together to determine the total possible points available out of a possible 784 points. If a service company is needed, the available equipment items are summed in Table 544.A. If additional ground ladders are needed for the service company, the assigned points for each available ground ladder up to 4 (from Table 544.B) are added to the points determined in Table 544.A. All ladder company equipment, available service company equipment, available engine- ladder company equipment and available engine-service company equipment are summed. This sum is then divided by the sum of 784 points multiplied by the Needed Ladder(NL)plus 334 points multiplied by the Needed Service (NS) companies plus any points assigned for any additional ladders from Table 544.6. Next, this factor is multiplied by the appropriate factor (A) representing the percent of built- upon area of the city with first alarm response of a ladder, service, engine-ladder or engine- service company to fires in buildings. Finally, this product is multiplied by the 5 points available for the "Credit for Ladder Service (CLS)". The points calculated for Sebastian resulted in the following: CLS=2.71 points Item 553-Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks The next item reviewed is Item 553 "Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks (CRLS)". This item considers the adequacy of ladder and service apparatus when one (or more in larger communities) of these apparatus are out of service. The number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks is 1 for each 8 needed ladder and service companies that were determined to be needed in Item 540, or any fraction thereof. When 8 or less ladder and service companies are needed, and 1 or more ladder companies are needed, the reserve truck should be a ladder truck. When the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks exceeds the number of needed reserve ladder trucks, the difference is considered as needed reserve service trucks. @ISO Properties.Inc..2007 Page 21 1 l The number of in-service ladder and service trucks considered out of service is determined by the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks. The in-service ladder and service trucks credited in Item 549 having the largest number of points is what is considered as out of service. The equipment on credited reserve ladder and service trucks shall be reviewed by application of Tables 544.A, 544.B and 544.C. The number of reserve ladder trucks credited in this item shall not exceed the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks. If only one reserve ladder is needed, and if more than one reserve ladder or service truck is provided in the city, only the best equipped reserve ladder or service truck will be credited. All ladder company equipment, available service company equipment, available engine- ladder company equipment and available engine-service company equipment are summed. After the points for all reserve ladder and service equipment is determined,the reserve ladder service truck with the largest points is selected. This value is added to the value of all in- service ladder and service company equipment determined in Item 549. Next, the best equipped in-service ladder or service truck is subtracted from the in-service and reserve total. The difference is then divided by the total possible points for a ladder truck (784) times the Needed Ladder(NL) plus the total possible points (334) times the Needed Service (NS) plus any assigned points for any additional ladders needed from Table 544.B. Finally, this quotient is multiplied by the 1 point available for the "Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks(CRLS)". The credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks was calculated for Sebastian as follows: CRLS=0.33 points Item 561 —Credit for Distribution Next, Item 561 "Credit for Distribution (CD)" is reviewed. This Item examines the number and adequacy of existing engine and ladder-service companies to cover built-upon areas of the city. The built-upon area of the city should have a first-due engine company within 11/2 miles and a ladder-service company within 2%miles. To determine the Credit for Distribution, we begin by selecting certain values that have already been determined in the evaluation process. Existing Engine Company (EC) points and the Existing Engine Companies (EE) determined in Item 513 are considered along with Ladder Company Equipment (LCE) points, Service Company Equipment (SCE) points, Engine-Ladder Company Equipment (ELCE) points, and Engine-Service Company Equipment(ESCE) points determined in Item 549. A company distribution study is conducted using a base map of the city drawn to scale. All named and numbered streets are depicted as well as all fire hydrant locations. The in-service engine company and in-service ladder and service company locations are plotted on the map. Using the prevailing map scale a 1% mile polygon is drawn around each in-service engine company location and a 21/2 mile polygon is drawn around each in-service ladder and service company location. Since the fire hydrant locations are indicative of growth and development they are used as a surrogate to quantify built-upon areas. All fire hydrants located within 11/2 mile polygons are counted and summed. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 22 / 1� This number is divided by the total number of fire hydrants in the city and multiplied by 100 to determine the percent of built-upon area within 11/2 miles of an existing engine company. Similarly, all fire hydrants located within 2% mile polygons are counted and summed. This number is divided by the total number of fire hydrants in the city and multiplied by 100 to determine the percent of built-upon area within 2% miles of existing ladder and service companies. The points calculated for Credit for Distribution for Sebastian resulted in the following: CD=1.57 points Item 571 —Credit for Company Personnel Item 571 "Credit for Company Personnel (CCP)" reviews the average number of existing fire fighter and company officer personnel available to respond to reported "first alarm structure fires"in the city. For on-duty strength, the total number of members on duty with companies is taken as the yearly average considering vacations, sick leave, holidays, "Kelley"days and other absences. When your fire department operates under a "minimum staffing" policy and sufficient funds are allocated in the fire department budget to hire back personnel from the off-shift to maintain the minimum staffing, ISO will use the minimum staffing in lieu of figuring an average. Members on apparatus not credited under Items 513 and 549 that regularly respond to reported first alarms to aid engine, ladder and service companies are included in this item as increasing the total company strength. Personnel staffing ambulances or other units serving the general public are credited if they participate in fire-fighting operations, the number depending upon the extent to which they are available and are used for response to first alarms of fire. Call and volunteer members (VM) are credited on the basis of the average number staffing apparatus on first alarms. Off-shift paid members responding on first alarms are considered on the same basis as call and volunteer members. For personnel not normally at the fire station, the value of responding members is divided by 3 to reflect the time needed to assemble at the fire scene and the fractured ability to act as a team due to the various arrival times at the fire location when compared to the personnel on duty at the fire station during the receipt of an alarm. While Public Safety Officers do not represent the ability to respond from a single location as a team, they are positioned in emergency vehicles within the jurisdiction boundaries. In recognition of this increased response capability the value of responding members is divided by 2. Call and volunteer members sleeping at fire stations are considered as on-duty members for the proportional time that they at the fire station. The average number of personnel responding with those companies credited as Automatic Aid under Items 513 and 549 are considered for either on-duty or volunteer personnel as is appropriate. The actual number is calculated as the average number of personnel responding multiplied by the value of AA Plan determined in Item 512.D. The maximum credit for any response of on-duty and call members are 12 fire fighters, including company officers, for each existing engine and ladder company and 6 for each existing service company. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 23 X13 The FSRS recognizes an average of 39.61 on-duty personnel and 0.00 volunteers respond on first alarm to structure fires. The points calculated for Credit for Personnel for Sebastian resulted in the following: CCP=7.07 points item 581 —Credit for Training The final item reviewed in the fire department section is Item 580 "Credit for Training (CT)". This item evaluates training facilities and aids and the use made of them by the fire suppression force; company training at fire stations; classes for officers; driver and operator training; new driver and operator training; hazardous materials training; recruit training; the pre fire planning inspection program; and the training and inspection records. A maximum of 35% of the training evaluation is attributed to facilities, aids and use, 50% is attributed to specialized training and the final 15% is available for the pre-fire planning inspection program.

H.Pre-Fire Planning Inspections 7.56 15 For maximum credit,pre-fire planning inspections of each commercial,industrial, institutional,and other similar type building(all buildings except 1-4 family dwellings)should be made twice per year by company members. Records of inspections should include up-to date notes and sketches. There are 63.00%of the buildings inspected at a yearly frequency of 1.00. Participation is 100.00%. 0.00 points will be deducted for missing or incomplete records. To determine your credit for Training, the points credited in Item 580.A though 580.H are summed. For maximum credit, records should be kept of all training. NFPA 1401 outlines the appropriate manner in which to accomplish this. A deduction of up to 20 points (20% for each Item)is made for a lack of records. A deduction of 10% is made for incomplete records and 20%for no records for each sub item. A total of 0.00 points is deducted to reflect a deficiency of record keeping for Sebastian.

Water Supoiv Forty percent of a community's overall score is based on the adequacy of the water supply system. The ISO field representative evaluated: • representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes(needed fire flow up to 3,500 gpm) • fire hydrants: size, type and installation to determine the capacity of the fire hydrants • hydrants: inspection and condition to review the fire hydrant inspection frequency, the completeness of the inspections and the condition of the hydrants Item 616-Credit for Supply System The first item reviewed was Item 616 "Credit for Supply System (CSS)". This item reviews the rate of flow that can be credited at each of the needed fire flow tests locations considering the supply works capacity, the main capacity and the hydrant distribution. The lowest flow rate of these items is credited for each representative location reviewed. A water system capable of delivering 250 gpm or more for a period of two hours plus consumption at the maximum daily rate at the fire location is considered minimum in the ISO review. To determine the score for Item 616 "Credit for Supply System", three sub items (Item 612 "Supply Works Capacity", Item 613 "Main Capacity" and Item 614 "Hydrant Distribution") need to be evaluated. oiSO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 29 (19 We calculate the supply works capacity for each representative needed fire flow test location. In doing this, ISO considers a variety of water supply sources. These would include public water supplies, emergency supplies (usually accessed from neighboring water systems), suction supplies (usually evidenced by dry hydrant installations near a river, lake or other body of water), and a supply developed by a fire department using large diameter hose or vehicles to shuttle water from a source of supply to a fire site. The result is expressed in gallons per minute(gpm). The normal ability of the distribution system to deliver Needed Fire Flows (NFF) at the selected building locations is reviewed. The results of a flow test at a representative test location will indicate the ability of the water mains (or fire department in the case of fire department supplies)to carry water to that location. The hydrant distribution is reviewed within 1,000 feet of representative test locations measured as hose can be laid by apparatus. Credit is allowed up to 1,000 gpm from each hydrant within 300 feet of the location, 670 gpm from hydrants within 301 to 600 feet of the location and 250 gpm from hydrants within 601 to 1,000 feet of the location. The normal distribution of hydrants in the vicinity of test locations considered in Items 612 and 613 are evaluated.These hydrant distribution allowances are based upon a standard fire hydrant with a pumper outlet conforming to the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard C-502 or C-503. In addition, they are based upon a standard complement of 1,200 feet of 2% inch fire hose. If a hose diameter greater than 2% inch is carried by all in-service pumpers, the hydrant distribution credit may be greater than that stated above due to the reduced friction loss in the larger diameter hose. Where there are 2 or more systems or services distributing water at the same location, credit is given on the basis of the joint protection provided by all systems and services available. A. Sub-standard type hydrants with at least one fire department outlet are considered if they are capable of delivering at least 250 gpm. B. A cistern or other suction point must be capable of supplying 250 gpm for at least 2 hours to be recognized. C. The maximum credit for a hydrant may be limited by A or B above and is limited by the number and size of outlets as follows: MAXIMUM CREDIT At least one pumper outlet 1,000 gpm Two or more hose outlets, no pumper outlet 750 gpm One hose outlet only 500 gpm For maximum credit in the FSRS, the needed fire flows should be available at each location in the district. Needed fire flows of 2,500 gpm or less should be available for 2 hours; and needed fire flows of 3,000 and 3,500 gpm should be obtainable for 3 hours. A variety of buildings were used as representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes(needed fire flow). The points calculated for Sebastian resulted in the following: CSS=32.02 C S0 Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 30 1v Item 621 —Credit for Hydrants The second item reviewed is Item 621 "Credit for Hydrants (CH)". This item reviews the number of fire hydrants of each type compared with the total number of hydrants. For maximum credit in the FSRS, all hydrants should have a pumper outlet, 6 inch or larger branch connection, uniform size operating nut and should operate in a uniform direction in accordance with AVWVA C-502 Standard for Dry-Barrel Fire Hydrants or AVWVA C-503 Standard for Wet-Barrel Fire Hydrants. For maximum credit, all suction supply points should be equipped with a dry hydrant with a 6 inch or larger pipe and fittings, a minimum number of 90 degree elbows (preferably no more than two), and suction screen placement so that the dry hydrant will deliver the design capacity (usually 1,000 gpm) as specified in NFPA 1142, Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting.

Note 2: 10 points are deducted if more than one type hose thread is used for pumper or hose outlets. Of the 798 hydrants that were reviewed, none had a different hose thread than the majority. There were no points deducted for this item. ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 31 To determine your "Credit for Hydrants", the points credited in Item 620.A though 680.F are summed. A deduction of 2 points is made for each 10% of hydrants not operating in a uniform direction of the majority, or with an operating nut different from the majority. A deduction of 10 points is also made if more than one thread is used for pumper or hose outlets. The sum is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the 2 points available for the"Credit for Hydrants(CH)".The points calculated for Sebastian resulted in the following: CH=2.00 Item 630—Credit for Inspection and Condition The third item reviewed is Item 630 "Credit for Inspection and Condition (CIC)". This item reviews the fire hydrant inspection frequency, the completeness of the inspections and the condition of hydrants. Inspection and condition of hydrants should be in accordance with AWWA M-17, Installation, Field Testing and Maintenance of Fire Hydrants. A.

An additional reduction of 10 points are made if hydrants are not subjected to full system pressure during inspections. If the inspection of cisterns or suction points does not include actual drafting with a pumper, or back-flushing for dry hydrants, 40 points are deducted. B. Condition (HF): A factor (HF) is determined from the following list of conditions according to the actual condition of hydrants examined compared with the total number examined during the survey: Condition Factor Standard(no leaks, opens easily, conspicuous,well located for use by pumper) 1.0 Usable (with some defects and/or impediments to use) 0.5 Not Usable 0.0 ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 32 Ig \ For maximum credit in the Schedule, all hydrants should be inspected twice a year.

Credit for Inspection and Condition(CIC) 2.40 3 Total Credit 36.42 40 If the score Sebastian achieved for the water supply system was translated into a 100 point scale instead of the 40 points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a(relative) Class 1. Divergence Divergence considers a difference between the protection provided by the Fire Department and the Water Supply. This difference would prevent the better feature from being utilized to its fullest extent. Therefore, an adjustment is made to reflect any difference between these two features. Because of the difference in total weights assigned to the two features,the total for the Fire Department, which has the higher total weight, is adjusted to make the comparison reflect the relative adequacies of the two features. The expression (CWS)-0.8(CFD)] in the following formula is the Divergence calculation: PPC = [ (CFA + CFD + CWS) - 0.5 IL (CWS) -0.8 (CFD) I} 10 PPC - [ (9.35 + 28.36 + 36.42) - 0.5 (I (36.42) -0.8 (28.36) I} I 10 ®ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 34 ISL/ Summary of Public Protection Classification Review Completed by ISO on Mar 09, 2009 for Sebastian Earned Credit FSRS Item Credit Available Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms 414.Credit for Telephone Service 2.00 2 422.Credit for Operators 3.00 3 432.Credit for Dispatch Circuits 4.35 5 smacmccesemo 440.Credit for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms 9.35 10 Fire Department 513.Credit for Engine Companies 5.23 10 523.Credit for Reserve Pumpers 0.51 1 532.

We analyze the data using our Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRSTM) and then assign a Public Protection Classification (PPCTM) number to the community. The surveys are conducted whenever it appears that there is a possibility of a classification change. As such, the PPC program provides important, up-to- date information about fire protection services throughout the country. A community's investment in fire mitigation is a proven and reliable predictor of future fire losses. Statistical data on insurance losses bears out the relationship between excellent fire protection — as measured by the PPC program — and low fire losses. So, insurance companies use PPC information for marketing, underwriting, and to help establish fair premiums for homeowners and commercial fire insurance. In general, the price of fire insurance in a community with a good PPC is substantially lower than in a community with a poor PPC, assuming all other factors are equal. ISO is an independent company that serves insurance companies, communities, fire departments, insurance regulators, and others by providing information about risk. ISO's expert staff collects information about municipal fire suppression efforts in communities throughout the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data and assigns a Public Protection Classification — a number from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents an exemplary fire suppression program, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire suppression program does not meet ISO's minimum criteria. ISO's PPC program evaluates communities according to a uniform set of criteria, incorporating nationally recognized standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works Association. A community's PPC depends on: • Fire alarm and communication systems, including telephone systems, telephone lines, staffing, and dispatching systems • The fire department, including equipment, staffing, training, and geographic distribution of fire companies • The water supply system, including condition and maintenance of hydrants, alternative water supply operations, and a careful evaluation of the amount of available water compared with the amount needed to suppress fires up to 3,500 gpm. Data Collection and Analysis ISO has evaluated and classified over 44,000 fire protection areas across the United States using its Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). We use a combination of a meeting between a trained ISO field representative and the dispatch center coordinator, community fire official, and water superintendent in conjunction with a comprehensive questionnaire to collect the data necessary to determine the PPC number. In order for a community to obtain a classification better then a Class 9, three elements of fire suppression features are reviewed. These three elements are the fire alarm and communication system, the fire department and the water supply system. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 1 tf A review of the fire alarm and communication system accounts for 10% of the total classification. The review focuses on the community's facilities and support for handling and dispatching fire alarms. This section is weighted at 10 points broken up as follows: • Telephone Service 2 points • Number of Needed Operators 3 points • Dispatch Circuits 5 points A review of the fire department accounts for 50% of the total classification. ISO focuses on a fire department's first-alarm response and initial attack to minimize potential loss. In this section, ISO reviews such items as engine companies, ladder or service companies, distribution of fire stations and fire companies, equipment carried on apparatus, pumping capacity, reserve apparatus, department personnel, and training. The fire department section is weighted at 50 points distributed as follows: • Engine Companies 10 points • Reserve Pumpers 1 point • Pumper Capacity 5 points • Ladder/Service Companies 5 points • Reserve Ladder/Service Trucks 1 point • Distribution of Companies 4 points • Company Personnel 15 points • Training 9 points A review of the water supply system accounts for 40% of the total classification. ISO reviews the water supply a community uses to determine the adequacy for fire-suppression purposes. We also consider hydrant size, type, and installation, as well as the inspection frequency and condition of fire hydrants. The water supply system is weighted at 40 points with concern for the following: • Credit for the Supply System 35 points • Hydrant Size, Type & Installation 2 points • Inspection/Condition of Hydrants 3 points There is one additional factor considered in calculating the final score — Divergence. Even the best fire department will be less than fully effective if it has an inadequate water supply. Similarly, even a superior water supply will be less than fully effective if the fire department lacks the equipment or personnel to use the water. The preliminary FSRS score is subject to modification by a divergence factor, which recognizes disparity between the effectiveness of the fire department and the water supply. The Divergence factor mathematically reduces your preliminary scores if the fire department and water-supply scores are out of line with each other. The factor is introduced in the final equation. Cc�ISO Properties.Inc.,2007 Page 2 Public Protection Classification Number The PPC number assigned to the community will depend on the community's score on a 100- point scale: PPC Points 1 90.00 or more 2 80.00 to 89.99 3 70.00 to 79.99 4 60.00 to 69.99 5 50.00 to 59.99 6 40.00 to 49.99 7 30.00 to 39.99 8 20.00 to 29.99 9 10.00 to 19.99 10 0.00 to 9.99 The classification numbers are interpreted as follows: • Class 1 through (and including) Class 8 represents a fire suppression system that includes an FSRS creditable dispatch center, fire department and water supply. • Class 8B is a special classification that recognizes a superior level of fire protection in otherwise Class 9 areas. It is designed to represent a fire protection delivery system that is superior except for a lack of a water supply system capable of the minimum FSRS fire flow criteria of 250 gpm for 2-hours. • Class 9 is a fire suppression system that includes a creditable dispatch center, fire department but no FSRS creditable water supply. • Class 10 does not meet minimum FSRS criteria for recognition. ISO develops a single Public Protection Classification for a community when 85% or more of the buildable area is served by a water supply capable of delivering 250 gpm of fire flow, uninterrupted, for a minimum period of 2-hours, and there are no areas beyond 5 road miles of the responding fire station. Under this condition, all of the structures in the community receive that classification. Over 60% of the communities ISO has evaluated do not have this capability, so ISO develops a split classification (for example, 5/9). When a split classification is published the first class (Class 5 in the example) applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant. The second class (Class 9 in the example) applies to properties within 5 road miles of a recognized fire station but beyond 1,000 feet of a hydrant. ISO generally assigns Class 10 to properties beyond 5 road miles. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 3 190 Distribution of Public Protection Classification Numbers The 2008 published countrywide distribution of communities by the Public Protection Classification number is as follows: Countrywide 16,000 - 14,000 - 13611 12,000 10,000 8778 7749 8,000 6057 6,000 - 4403 4,000 2409 1878 1524 2,000 - 644 57 538 r _ Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8B 9 10 The 2008 published distribution of communities by the Public Protection Classification number is as follows: Florida 180 160 160 - 133 137 140 123 120 - __ 100 - 80 - 73 65 60 40 31 1I21 20 - 8 . 10 4 0 i _� . -- Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class Class 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8B 9 10 ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 4 l c u Assistance The PPC program offers help to communities, fire departments and other public officials as they plan for, budget, and justify improvements.

Classification Details Public Protection Classification On Mar 09, 2009 ISO concluded its review of the fire suppression features being provided for/by Fellsmere. The resulting classification is a Class 4/9. If the classification is a single class, the classification applies to all properties in the community. If the classification is a"split"class (e.g., 6/9), the following applies: • The first class (e.g., "6" in a 6/9) applies to properties within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant or alternate water supply. • Class 88 or class 9 applies to properties beyond 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant but within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station. • Alternative Water Supply: The first class (e.g., "6" in a 6/10) applies to all properties within 5-road miles of a recognized fire station with no hydrant distance requirement. • Class 10 applies to properties over 5-road miles of a recognized fire station. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 5 iq Summary Evaluation Analysis The following points represent the analysis of the application of the criterion outlined in the FSRS of four topics- Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms, Fire Department, Water Supply and the Divergence factor for Fellsmere: Earned Credit FSRS Feature Credit Available Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms 414.

To establish the points for each category, FSRS items labeled as "Credit for..." are totaled. These particular items are intermediate values. Often these intermediate values are based upon a 100-point scale, but they can be more (e.g., 654 for Item 513, "Credit for Engine Companies"). The ratios between the actual points scored in each of these subsections and 100 (or, as in Item 513, other scale number) are then multiplied by the points available for the subsection. For instance, Item 414"Credit for Telephone Service" is valued at 2-points. To determine the credit earned, the totals for Item 411 "Review of Telephone Lines" (TL), Item 412 "Review of Telephone Directory" (TD), and Item 413 "Review of Recording Device" (RD) are summed. In Item 411, up to 60-points can accrue; Item 412 has a combined value of 20-points; and 20- points are available for Item 413. The sum of these three Items is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the 2-point weight in Item 414 to determine the final score for "Credit for Telephone Service (CTS)". The formula for Item 414"Credit for Telephone Service (CTS)" looks like this: CTS= T-Sx2 100 Where TS =TL+TD+ RD Detailed Evaluation Analysis On the following pages are the scoring details of each category of the evaluation of Fellsmere. These details relate only to the fire insurance classification of your jurisdiction. They are not for property loss prevention or life safety purposes and no life safety or property loss recommendations are made. At the end of the scoring details for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms, Fire Department, and Water Supply the relative class is indicated. The relative class represents the classification each category would have achieved if the individual score was translated into a 100-point scale instead of the points available for that category. ..r ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 7 Receiving and Handling of Fire Alarms Ten percent of a community's overall score is based on how well the communications center receives and dispatches fire alarms. Our field representative evaluated: • the telephone service, including the number of telephone lines coming into the center • the listing of the emergency number and business number in the telephone directory • the automatic recording of emergency calls • the communications center, including the number of operators on duty and awake at the center • the dispatch circuits and how the center notifies firefighters about the location of the emergency Note: This evaluation includes information from multiple PSAP's (Public Safety Answering Points), the least creditable PSAP is used for the calculation of each Item under Receiving and Handling of Fire Alarms. Item 414-Credit for Telephone Service The first item reviewed is Item 414 "Credit for Telephone Service". This item reviews the facilities provided for the public to report fires including the telephone line used to report an emergency, business and private alarm lines including progression of emergency calls to business lines. Also analyzed is the listing of fire and business numbers in the telephone directory and the automatic recording of emergency calls. ISO uses National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems as the reference for this section. To determine the score for Item 414, three sub-items (Item 411, Item 412, and Item 413) needed to be evaluated. The details are as follows: ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 8 (q5 Earned Credit Item 411 -"Review of Telephone Lines(IL)" Credit Available A. Number of needed fire lines* 25.00 25 For maximum credit, there should be 6 incoming telephone lines reserved for receiving notification of fires. The Communication Center serving Fellsmere has 21 lines reserved. The telephone directory listed both a business and an emergency number. B. Number of needed fire, business,and private alarm 25.00 25 lines* For maximum credit, there should be 6 incoming lines reserved for notification of fires (and other emergency calls) plus 1 additional line for conducting other fire department business and, if applicable, for private alarms. The Communication Centers serving Fellsmere have 1 line in addition to the 21 lines reserved for receiving notification of fires (and other emergency calls). The telephone directory listed both a business and an emergency number. C. Progression of emergency calls to business lines 10.00 10 For maximum credit, unanswered emergency calls should progress to the business number. D. If detailed information of a fire is received and 0.00 -20 transmitted through more than one communication center, DEDUCT For maximum credit, fire calls should be immediately transferred from the answering point to the dispatcher who will then obtain the needed information from the caller for dispatching. Review of Telephone Lines (TL)total: 60.00 60 *Note: When only one telephone number is listed in the telephone directory the telephone lines provided can not be reserved for emergency calls because the general public is not given a choice of telephone lines to use. Therefore, the operatorltelecommunicator must accept both emergency and business calls over the same lines. The number of needed fire, business, and alarm lines will show a reduction in credit. .M. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 9 W Earned Credit Item 412-"Review of Telephone Directory(TD)" Credit Available A. Emergency number on the inside front cover or the 10 10 front page For maximum credit, the fire emergency telephone number should be printed on the inside front cover or front page of the white pages in the telephone directory. B. Emergency number and business number listed under 5 5 "Fire Department" For credit, both the number to report a fire and the fire department business number should be listed under"FIRE DEPARTMENT" in the white pages (or government section) of the telephone directory. The fire number is listed and the business number is listed. C. Emergency number and business number listed under 5 5 the name of the city For credit, both the number to report a fire and the fire department business number should be listed under the community or fire district in the white pages (or government section)of the telephone directory. The fire number is listed and the business number is listed. D. If the numbers for individual fire stations are listed, 0 -10 DEDUCT For no deduction of points, the individual fire stations should not be listed in the telephone directory. Review of Directory Listing (TD)total: 20 20 Earned Credit Item 413-"Review of Recording Device(RD)" Credit Available A. Review of the recording device(RD): 20 20 For credit, a voice recorder should automatically record all emergency calls and the operator should be able to immediately play back any emergency call to review the conversation. Review of Recording Device (RD)total: 20 20 ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 10 I l - The Items 'TL", 'TD", and "RD" are then added together and divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the two points available for the "Credit for Telephone Service (CTS)". The points calculated for Fellsmere for this item are: CTS= 2.00 points Item 422 -Credit for Operators The second item reviewed is Item 422 "Credit for Operators (CTO)". This item reviews the number of operators on duty and awake at the center to handle fire calls and other emergencies. All emergency calls including those calls that do not require fire department action are reviewed to determine the proper staffing to answer emergency calls and dispatch the appropriate emergency response. NFPA 1221, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of Emergency Services Communications Systems, recommends that ninety-five percent of emergency calls shall be answered within 15 seconds and ninety-nine percent of emergency calls shall be answered within 40 seconds. In addition, NFPA recommends that ninety-five percent of emergency calls shall be dispatched within 60 seconds and ninety-nine percent of calls shall be dispatched within 90 seconds of answering the call. To receive full credit for operators on duty, ISO must review documentation to show that your communication center meets NFPA 1221 call answering and dispatch time performance measurement standards. This documentation may be in the form of performance statistics or other performance measurements compiled by the 9-1-1 software or other software programs that you are currently using such as Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) or Management Information System (MIS). If the necessary data is not available, the number of needed operators will be determined by specification criteria using a "Call Volume Matrix Table"(see the following page).

The details are as follows: Earned Credit Item 421 -"Review of Operators (P0)" Credit Available A. Number of operators on duty(OD): 80.00 80 For maximum credit, there should be 7 operators on duty at all times.There are an average of 7.00 operators on duty at the communication center. B. Number of operators awake at all times(OA): 20.00 20 For maximum credit, all operators should be awake at all times. There is an average of 7.00 operators awake at all times. Review of Operators(PO)total: 100.00 100 After the items "OD" and "OA" are summed up to determine the points received for the "Review of Operators", the sum is divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the three points available for the "Credit for Operators (CTO)". The points calculated for Fellsmere for this item are: CTO=3.00 points Item 432 -Credit for Dispatch Circuits The third item reviewed is Item 432"Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC). This item reviews the dispatch circuit facilities used to transmit alarms to fire department members. A "Dispatch Circuit" is defined in NFPA 1221 as "A circuit over which an alarm is retransmitted automatically or manually from the communication center to an emergency response facility" (fire station or fire department member). All fire departments (except single fire station departments with full-time firefighter personnel receiving alarms directly at the fire station) need adequate means of notifying all firefighter personnel of the location of reported structure fires. The dispatch circuit facilities should be in accordance with the general criteria of NFPA 1221. "Alarms"are defined in this Standard as "A signal or message from a person or device indicating the existence of a fire, medical emergency or other situation that requires fire department action". There are two different levels of dispatch circuit facilities provided for in the Standard — a primary dispatch circuit and a secondary dispatch circuit. In jurisdictions that receive over 730 alarms or more per year (average of two alarms per 24-hour period), two separate and dedicated dispatch circuits, a primary and a secondary, are needed. In jurisdictions receiving fewer than 730 alarms per year, a second dedicated dispatch circuit is not needed. Dispatch circuit facilities installed but not used or tested (in accordance with the NFPA Standard) receive no credit. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 13 0 Your score for Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC) is influenced by monitoring the integrity of the primary dispatch circuit. There are up to 1.5 points available for this Item. Monitoring for integrity involves installing automatic systems that will detect faults and failures and send visual and audible indications to appropriate communications center (or dispatch center) personnel. ISO uses NFPA 1221 to guide the evaluation of this item. Additional points are available for dispatch recording facilities at the Communication Center. All alarms that are transmitted over the required dispatch circuits need to be automatically recorded (including the dates and times of transmission) to earn the maximum points in this item. ISO's evaluation includes a review of the communication system's emergency power supplies. To receive maximum credit, two sources of power need to be provided for the operation of the communications network including dispatch circuits and its related support systems and equipment. A common arrangement is to have the primary power come from a utility distribution system and a secondary power source from an automatic starting emergency engine-generator and/or an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Battery System—(SEPSS-Stored Emergency Power Supply Systems). To determine the score for Item 432, four sub items (Item 431.A, Item 431.B, Item 431.0 and Item 431.D) needed to be evaluated. The criterion is as follows: ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 14 ao1 The score that Fellsmere received for Item 432 was calculated as follows: Earned Credit Item 432 -"Credit for Dispatch Circuits(CDC)" Credit Available Item 431A-"Dispatch Circuits Provided" 26.60 40 The points are determined by prorating the value of the type of dispatch circuit using the percentage of members dependent upon each circuit. Item 431 B -"Monitoring for Integrity of Circuit" 30.00 30 For maximum credit, the dispatch circuit should have an automatic system that will detect faults and failures and send visual and audible indications to appropriate personnel. Item 431C -"Dispatch Recording Facilities at Communication 5.00 10 Center" For maximum credit, all alarms that are transmitted over the required dispatch circuits need to be automatically recorded. Item 431D-"Emergency Power Supply" 20.00 20 For maximum credit, emergency power supplies need to be provided and regularly tested. Item 431E -"When no circuit is needed" 0.00 100 If all responding fire fighters are in the same building as the communication center and are alerted, no dispatch circuit is needed and the maximum points are credited. However, the community does not operate in this fashion. Dispatch Circuits(DC)total: 86.60 100 After the Items in 431 are summed up to determine the points received for the "Credit for Dispatch Circuits", the sum is divided by the total possible points (100 points) to determine the factor that is applied to the five points available for the "Credit for Dispatch Circuits (CDC)". The points calculated for Fellsmere for this item are: CDC =4.35 points ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 15 ao � The final step in determining the credit for"Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms" is to add up the following three components: Earned Credit Item Credit Available 414. Credit for Telephone Service (CTS) 2.00 2 422. Credit for Operators(CTO) 3.00 3 432. Credit for Dispatch Circuits(CDC) 4.35 5 Total Credit: 9.35 10 If the score Fellsmere achieved for Receiving and Handling Fire Alarms was translated into a 100 point scale instead of the 10 points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a (relative) Class 1. Fire Department Fifty percent of a community's overall score is based upon the fire department's structure fire suppression system. ISO's field representative evaluated: • Engine and ladder/service vehicles including reserve apparatus • Equipment carried • Distribution of fire companies • Available and/or responding firefighters • Automatic Aid with neighboring fire departments • Training Item 501 -Basic Fire Flow The Basic Fire Flow for the community is determined by the review of the needed fire flows for selected buildings in the community. The following building addresses were used to determine the Basic Fire Flow: • 6500 gpm 695 South Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 6000 gpm 2810 Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd • 6000 gpm 1657-1791 94 Drive, Indian River Co Fd • 5000 gpm 2008-2182 58 Avenue, Indian River Co Fd • 5000 gpm 1396 Rte 1, Indian River Co Fd The fifth largest needed fire flow is determined to be the Basic Fire Flow. The maximum that the Basic Fire Flow can be is 3500 gpm. The Basic Fire Flow for Fellsmere has been determined to be 3500 gpm. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 16 60 3 Item 513 -Credit for Engine Companies The first item reviewed is Item 513 "Credit for Engine Companies". This item reviews the number of engine companies, their pump capacity, hose testing, pump testing and the equipment carried on the in-service pumpers. To be recognized, pumper apparatus must meet the general criteria of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus which include a minimum 250 gpm pump, an emergency warning system, a 300 gallon water tank and hose. The review of the number of needed pumpers considers the Basic Fire Flow; the response distance to built-upon areas; the method of operation; and the response outside the city. Item 501.A. Number of Needed Engine Companies (NE): BASIC FIRE FLOW, GPM ENGINE COMPANIES 500 - 1,000 1 1,250- 2,500 2 3,000- 3,500 3 For maximum credit, the FSRS indicates that 20 engine companies are needed in the fire district. This number is calculated as follows: The greater of: a) 3 engine companies to support a Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm. b) 20 engine companies to provide fire suppression services to areas with a reasonable population of properties without a responding fire station within 11/2 miles. c) 3 engine companies based upon the method of operation of the fire department. The FSRS recognizes that there are 11 engine companies in service. For maximum credit in the FSRS, at least two engine companies should respond for all reported first alarms for fires in buildings. The credit for engine companies has been reduced by 0.0 percent because the FSRS review deemed there is an adequate response to all reported fires in the district. For each engine, ISO reviews the pump capacity as indicated by a pumper test, the hose (including hose testing)and the equipment carried. For maximum credit in the schedule, pumper service tests must be done annually and documented. ISO evaluates the pumper service tests using NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of 1n-service Automotive Fire Apparatus. This Standard indicates that the service tests should be conducted for: - 20 minutes @ 100% capacity at 150 psi - 10 minutes @ 70% capacity at 200 psi - 10 minutes @ 50% capacity at 250 psi Other factors such as the "overload test" are not evaluated in the FSRS and are not required for FSRS credit. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 17 &OL( For maximum credit in the schedule, hose tests must be performed annually and documented. ISO evaluates a hose testing program using NFPA 1962, Standard for the Inspection, Care and Use of Fire Hose, Couplings and Nozzles and the Service Testing of Fire Hose. Multiple jacket-lined hose manufactured prior to July, 1987 must be service tested at 250 psi. Relay supply hose that is 31/2 inch to 5 inch should be tested at 200 psi and 5 inch to 6 inch relay supply hose should be tested at 150 psi. Hose that has been manufactured in July, 1987 and after should be tested to the service test pressure the manufacturer stenciled on the hose. All hose should be serviced tested for a minimum of 3 minutes. The FSRS also reviews Automatic Aid. Automatic Aid is considered in the review as assistance dispatched automatically by contractual agreement between two communities or fire districts. That differs from mutual aid or assistance arranged case by case. ISO will recognize an Automatic Aid plan under the following conditions: • It must be prearranged for first-alarm response according to a definite plan. It is preferable to have a written agreement, but ISO may recognize demonstrated performance. • The aid must be dispatched to reported structure fires on the initial alarm. • The aid must be provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. • The aid must offset a need in the community ISO is surveying. For example, if a community needs a ladder company and the fire department does not have one, but a neighboring community's ladder company responds by Automatic Aid agreement, credit may be available. • The aiding ladder company must cover at least 50% of the needed ladder company Standard Response District by hydrant count in the community being graded. FSRS Item 512.D "Automatic Aid Engine Companies" responding on first alarm and meeting the needs of the city for basic fire flow and/or distribution of companies are factored based upon the value of the Automatic Aid plan (up to 0.90 can be used as the factor). The Automatic Aid factor is determined by a review of the Automatic Aid provider's communication facilities, how they receive alarms from your community, inter-department training with your fire department and the fire ground communications capability with your department. For each engine company, the credited Pump Capacity (PC), the Hose Carried (HC), the Equipment Carried (EC) and a factor for an overweight apparatus all contribute to the calculation for the percent of credit the FSRS provides to that engine company. After the Items in 512 are summed to determine the points received for the "In Service Total (EC)", the sum is divided by the total possible points (654 or 554) and then multiplied by the Needed Engine Companies (NE). Next, this is multiplied by the appropriate factor representing the percent of built-upon area of the city with first alarm response of one or two engine companies. Finally, this product is multiplied by the 10 points available for the "Credit for Engine Companies (CEC)"to determine the final score for this item. The points calculated for Fellsmere for this item were: CEC=5.23 points ©ISO Properties,Inc,2007 Page 18 ao5 Item 523 -Credit for Reserve Pumpers The second pumper item reviewed is Item 523 "Credit for Reserve Pumpers (CRP)". This item reviews the number and adequacy of the pumpers and their equipment with one (or more in larger communities) pumper out of service. The number of needed reserve pumpers is 1 for each 8 needed engine companies determined in Item 513, or any fraction thereof. The number of reserve pumpers credited in this item will not exceed the number of needed reserve pumpers. If only one reserve pumper is needed, and more than one reserve pumper is provided in the city, only the best equipped reserve pumper will be credited. Reserve pumpers are reviewed for pump capacity, hose carried, and equipment in the same manner as described in Item 512 except that Automatic Aid reserve pumpers are not considered. The value of the Reserve Pumper Credit (RPC) is determined by multiplying the credited Pump Capacity (PC) times the credit for the Hose Carried (HC) times the credit for the Equipment Carried (EC)times the factor for an overweight apparatus. After the items in 521 are factored to determine the points received for each reserve pumper, the reserve pumper with the largest points is selected for the Reserve Pumper Credit (RPC). The value for RPC is added to the value in Item 512 determined above. Next, the best equipped in-service pumper is subtracted from the in-service and reserve total. The difference is then divided by the total the possible points (654 or 554) times the Needed Engine Companies (NE). Finally, this quotient is multiplied by the 1 point available for the "Credit for Reserve Pumpers (CRP)". These points calculated for Fellsmere resulted in the following: CRP=0.51 points Item 530—Credit for Pump Capacity The next item reviewed is Item 532 "Credit for Pumper Capacity (CPC)". The total pump capacity available should be sufficient for the Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm in Fellsmere. The maximum needed pump capacity credited is the Basic Fire Flow of the community. The pump capacity is obtained by test at the rated pump pressure. Credit is limited to 80 percent of rated capacity if no test data is available within two years of the survey date. Less than 80 percent may be credited if other mechanical features of the apparatus indicate a generally poor mechanical condition. The existing pump capacity (EP) represents the capacity of in-service pumpers, pumper- ladder, and pumper-service trucks that were credited in Item 513. The reserve pump capacity (RP) is that capacity of reserve pumpers, reserve pumper-ladder, and pumper-service trucks that were credited in Item 523. One-half the capacity of permanently-mounted pumps capable of delivering at least 50 gpm at 150 psi on other apparatus, reserve pumpers and reserve pumper-ladder and reserve pumper-service trucks not credited in Items 513 or 523 is credited in this item. This capacity is expressed as"OP". Automatic Aid pumper capacity is that capacity of pumpers credited as Automatic Aid in Item 513. The capacity credited does not exceed the percent determined by the value of the Automatic Aid plan determined in Item 512.D multiplies by the creditable pump capacity for each Automatic Aid pumper. This capacity is expressed as AAP. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 19 ao(0 The sum of the capacities determined for EP, RP, OP, and AAP above is 19500 gpm. The FSRS limits the total capacity to the Basic Fire Flow of 3500 gpm. Next, this capacity is divided by the Basic Fire Flow. Finally,this factor is multiplied by the 5 points available for the "Credit for Pumper Capacity(CPC)". The points calculated for Fellsmere for this item were as follows: CPC =5.00 points Item 549—Credit for Ladder Service ISO establishes a "Credit for Ladder Service (CLS)" (FSRS Item 549). This item reviews the number of response areas within the city with 5 buildings that are 3 or more stories or 35 feet or more in height, or with 5 buildings that have a Needed Fire Flow greater than 3500 gpm, or any combination of this criteria. The height of all buildings in the city, including those protected by automatic sprinklers. is considered when determining the number of needed ladder companies. When no individual response area alone needs a ladder company, at least one ladder company is needed if buildings in the city meet the above criteria. Ladders, tools and equipment normally carried on ladder trucks are needed not only for ladder operations but also for forcible entry, ventilation, salvage, overhaul, lighting and utility control.When long ladders are not needed in a community due to low height of buildings, the other support services tools and equipment are still needed. The number and type of apparatus is dependent upon the height of buildings, needed fire flow and response distance. Response areas not needing a ladder company should have a service company. A service company is an apparatus with some or all of the equipment identified in Table 544.A (see the following pages). The number of ladder or service companies, the height of the aerial ladder, aerial ladder testing and the equipment carried on the in-service ladder trucks and service trucks is compared with the number of needed ladder trucks and service trucks and an FSRS equipment list (Table 544 A, B, and C). Ladder trucks must meet the general criteria of NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus to be recognized. The number of needed ladder-service trucks is dependent upon the number of buildings 3 stories or 35 feet or more in height, buildings with a Needed Fire Flow greater than 3500 gpm, the response distance to built-upon areas, the method of operation and the response outside the city. For maximum credit in the Schedule, 2 ladder companies are needed in your district. This is calculated as follows: The greater of: a) 2 ladder companies due to the number of buildings over 3500 gpm or 3 stories in height or the method of operation. Plus b) 0 additional ladder companies because 10% or less of the responses outside of the district result in a reduction of the ladder companies left in the district to 50% or less of the normal strength level. We have recognized 1.5 ladder companies. ( ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 20 &o1 For maximum credit in the Schedule, a ladder or service company should respond on first alarms to all reported fires in buildings. It was determined the ladder or service company response is to 100% of first alarm fires in buildings. For maximum credit in the Schedule, 2 service companies are needed in your district. This need is calculated as follows: 2 service companies due to the lack of 5 or more buildings in response areas with a needed fire flow of over 3,500 gpm or 3 stories in height; or due to the method of operation. We have recognized 1.5 service companies. Tests and sample forms for recording tests for aerial ladder and elevating platforms are described in NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of In-service Automotive Fire Apparatus. If a ladder company is needed, the available equipment items in Table 544.A are summed to determine the points received for a Service Company, and available equipment items in Table 544.B are summed to determine the additional equipment points available for a Ladder Company. Table 544.A and 544.B points are added together to determine the total possible points available out of a possible 784 points. If a service company is needed, the available equipment items are summed in Table 544.A. If additional ground ladders are needed for the service company, the assigned points for each available ground ladder up to 4 (from Table 544.B) are added to the points determined in Table 544.A. All ladder company equipment, available service company equipment, available engine- ladder company equipment and available engine-service company equipment are summed. This sum is then divided by the sum of 784 points multiplied by the Needed Ladder(NL) plus 334 points multiplied by the Needed Service (NS) companies plus any points assigned for any additional ladders from Table 544.6. Next, this factor is multiplied by the appropriate factor (A) representing the percent of built- upon area of the city with first alarm response of a ladder, service, engine-ladder or engine- service company to fires in buildings. Finally, this product is multiplied by the 5 points available for the "Credit for Ladder Service (CLS)". The points calculated for Fellsmere resulted in the following: CLS = 2.71 points Item 553—Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks The next item reviewed is Item 553 "Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks (CRLS)". This item considers the adequacy of ladder and service apparatus when one (or more in larger communities) of these apparatus are out of service. The number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks is 1 for each 8 needed ladder and service companies that were determined to be needed in Item 540, or any fraction thereof. When 8 or less ladder and service companies are needed, and 1 or more ladder companies are needed, the reserve truck should be a ladder truck. When the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks exceeds the number of needed reserve ladder trucks, the difference is considered as needed reserve service trucks. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 21 cO� The number of in-service ladder and service trucks considered out of service is determined by the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks. The in-service ladder and service trucks credited in Item 549 having the largest number of points is what is considered as out of service. The equipment on credited reserve ladder and service trucks shall be reviewed by application of Tables 544.A, 544.6 and 544.C. The number of reserve ladder trucks credited in this item shall not exceed the number of needed reserve ladder and service trucks. If only one reserve ladder is needed, and if more than one reserve ladder or service truck is provided in the city, only the best equipped reserve ladder or service truck will be credited. All ladder company equipment, available service company equipment, available engine- ladder company equipment and available engine-service company equipment are summed. After the points for all reserve ladder and service equipment is determined, the reserve ladder service truck with the largest points is selected. This value is added to the value of all in- service ladder and service company equipment determined in Item 549. Next, the best equipped in-service ladder or service truck is subtracted from the in-service and reserve total. The difference is then divided by the total possible points for a ladder truck (784) times the Needed Ladder(NL) plus the total possible points (334) times the Needed Service (NS) plus any assigned points for any additional ladders needed from Table 544.6. Finally, this quotient is multiplied by the 1 point available for the "Credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks(CRLS)". The credit for Reserve Ladder and Service Trucks was calculated for Fellsmere as follows: CRLS =0.33 points Item 561 —Credit for Distribution Next, Item 561 "Credit for Distribution (CD)" is reviewed. This Item examines the number and adequacy of existing engine and ladder-service companies to cover built-upon areas of the city. The built-upon area of the city should have a first-due engine company within 1% miles and a ladder-service company within 2%miles. To determine the Credit for Distribution, we begin by selecting certain values that have already been determined in the evaluation process. Existing Engine Company (EC) points and the Existing Engine Companies (EE) determined in Item 513 are considered along with Ladder Company Equipment (LCE) points, Service Company Equipment (SCE) points, Engine-Ladder Company Equipment (ELCE) points, and Engine-Service Company Equipment(ESCE) points determined in Item 549. A company distribution study is conducted using a base map of the city drawn to scale. All named and numbered streets are depicted as well as all fire hydrant locations. The in-service engine company and in-service ladder and service company locations are plotted on the map. Using the prevailing map scale a 11/2 mile polygon is drawn around each in-service engine company location and a 21/2 mile polygon is drawn around each in-service ladder and service company location. Since the fire hydrant locations are indicative of growth and development they are used as a surrogate to quantify built-upon areas. All fire hydrants located within 1%mile polygons are counted and summed. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 22 a01 This number is divided by the total number of fire hydrants in the city and multiplied by 100 to determine the percent of built-upon area within 1% miles of an existing engine company. Similarly, all fire hydrants located within 21,4 mile polygons are counted and summed. This number is divided by the total number of fire hydrants in the city and multiplied by 100 to determine the percent of built-upon area within 21/2 miles of existing ladder and service companies. The points calculated for Credit for Distribution for Fellsmere resulted in the following: CD=1.57 points Item 571 —Credit for Company Personnel Item 571 "Credit for Company Personnel (CCP)" reviews the average number of existing fire fighter and company officer personnel available to respond to reported "first alarm structure fires" in the city. For on-duty strength, the total number of members on duty with companies is taken as the yearly average considering vacations, sick leave, holidays, "Kelley"days and other absences. When your fire department operates under a "minimum staffing" policy and sufficient funds are allocated in the fire department budget to hire back personnel from the off-shift to maintain the minimum staffing, ISO will use the minimum staffing in lieu of figuring an average. Members on apparatus not credited under Items 513 and 549 that regularly respond to reported first alarms to aid engine, ladder and service companies are included in this item as increasing the total company strength. Personnel staffing ambulances or other units serving the general public are credited if they participate in fire-fighting operations, the number depending upon the extent to which they are available and are used for response to first alarms of fire. Call and volunteer members (VM) are credited on the basis of the average number staffing apparatus on first alarms. Off-shift paid members responding on first alarms are considered on the same basis as call and volunteer members. For personnel not normally at the fire station, the value of responding members is divided by 3 to reflect the time needed to assemble at the fire scene and the fractured ability to act as a team due to the various arrival times at the fire location when compared to the personnel on duty at the fire station during the receipt of an alarm. While Public Safety Officers do not represent the ability to respond from a single location as a team, they are positioned in emergency vehicles within the jurisdiction boundaries. In recognition of this increased response capability the value of responding members is divided by 2. Call and volunteer members sleeping at fire stations are considered as on-duty members for the proportional time that they at the fire station. The average number of personnel responding with those companies credited as Automatic Aid under Items 513 and 549 are considered for either on-duty or volunteer personnel as is appropriate. The actual number is calculated as the average number of personnel responding multiplied by the value of M Plan determined in Item 512.D. The maximum credit for any response of on-duty and call members are 12 fire fighters, including company officers, for each existing engine and ladder company and 6 for each existing service company. Now @ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 23 Aro The FSRS recognizes an average of 39.61 on-duty personnel and 0.00 volunteers respond on first alarm to structure fires. The points calculated for Credit for Personnel for Fellsmere resulted in the following: CCP=7.07 points Item 581 —Credit for Training The final item reviewed in the fire department section is Item 580 "Credit for Training (CT)".

Credit for Training (CT) 5.94 9 Total Credit _ 28.36 50 If the score Felismere achieved for the fire department was translated into a 100-point scale instead of the 50-points actually used, the relative Fire Suppression Rating Schedule classification for this section of the review would be a (relative) Class 5. Water Supply Forty percent of a community's overall score is based on the adequacy of the water supply system. The ISO field representative evaluated: • representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes (needed fire flow up to 3,500 gpm) • fire hydrants: size, type and installation to determine the capacity of the fire hydrants • hydrants: inspection and condition to review the fire hydrant inspection frequency, the completeness of the inspections and the condition of the hydrants Item 616—Credit for Supply System The first item reviewed was Item 616 "Credit for Supply System (CSS)". This item reviews the rate of flow that can be credited at each of the needed fire flow tests locations considering the supply works capacity, the main capacity and the hydrant distribution. The lowest flow rate of these items is credited for each representative location reviewed. A water system capable of delivering 250 gpm or more for a period of two hours plus consumption at the maximum daily rate at the fire location is considered minimum in the ISO review. To determine the score for Item 616 "Credit for Supply System", three sub items (Item 612 "Supply Works Capacity", Item 613 "Main Capacity" and Item 614 "Hydrant Distribution") need to be evaluated. ©ISO Properties,Inc.,2007 Page 29 ai c40 We calculate the supply works capacity for each representative needed fire flow test location. In doing this, ISO considers a variety of water supply sources. These would include public water supplies, emergency supplies (usually accessed from neighboring water systems), suction supplies (usually evidenced by dry hydrant installations near a river, lake or other body of water), and a supply developed by a fire department using large diameter hose or vehicles to shuttle water from a source of supply to a fire site. The result is expressed in gallons per minute (gpm). The normal ability of the distribution system to deliver Needed Fire Flows (NFF) at the selected building locations is reviewed. The results of a flow test at a representative test location will indicate the ability of the water mains (or fire department in the case of fire department supplies)to carry water to that location. The hydrant distribution is reviewed within 1,000 feet of representative test locations measured as hose can be laid by apparatus. Credit is allowed up to 1,000 gpm from each hydrant within 300 feet of the location, 670 gpm from hydrants within 301 to 600 feet of the location and 250 gpm from hydrants within 601 to 1,000 feet of the location. The normal distribution of hydrants in the vicinity of test locations considered in Items 612 and 613 are evaluated. These hydrant distribution allowances are based upon a standard fire hydrant with a pumper outlet conforming to the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard C-502 or C-503. In addition, they are based upon a standard complement of 1,200 feet of 21/2 inch fire hose. If a hose diameter greater than 21/2 inch is carried by all in-service pumpers, the hydrant distribution credit may be greater than that stated above due to the reduced friction loss in the larger diameter hose. Where there are 2 or more systems or services distributing water at the same location, credit is given on the basis of the joint protection provided by all systems and services available. A. Sub-standard type hydrants with at least one fire department outlet are considered if they are capable of delivering at least 250 gpm. B. A cistern or other suction point must be capable of supplying 250 gpm for at least 2 hours to be recognized. C. The maximum credit for a hydrant may be limited by A or B above and is limited by the number and size of outlets as follows: MAXIMUM CREDIT At least one pumper outlet 1,000 gpm Two or more hose outlets, no pumper outlet 750 gpm One hose outlet only 500 gpm For maximum credit in the FSRS, the needed fire flows should be available at each location in the district. Needed fire flows of 2,500 gpm or less should be available for 2 hours; and needed fire flows of 3,000 and 3,500 gpm should be obtainable for 3 hours. A variety of buildings were used as representative building locations in the city to determine the theoretical amount of water necessary for fire suppression purposes(needed fire flow).

This item reviews the number of fire hydrants of each type compared with the total number of hydrants. For maximum credit in the FSRS, all hydrants should have a pumper outlet, 6 inch or larger branch connection, uniform size operating nut and should operate in a uniform direction in accordance with AWWA C-502 Standard for Dry-Barrel Fire Hydrants or AWWA C-503 Standard for Wet-Barrel Fire Hydrants. For maximum credit, all suction supply points should be equipped with a dry hydrant with a 6 inch or larger pipe and fittings, a minimum number of 90 degree elbows (preferably no more than two), and suction screen placement so that the dry hydrant will deliver the design capacity (usually 1,000 gpm) as specified in NFPA 1142, Standard on Water Supplies for Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting.

Divergence Divergence considers a difference between the protection provided by the Fire Department and the Water Supply. This difference would prevent the better feature from being utilized to its fullest extent. Therefore, an adjustment is made to reflect any difference between these two features. Because of the difference in total weights assigned to the two features, the total for the Fire Department, which has the higher total weight, is adjusted to make the comparison reflect the relative adequacies of the two features.

POST OFFICE BOX 8 GREEN COVE SPRINGS, FLORIDA 32043 • SECTION I PURPOSE & SUMMARY Purpose of this report Indian River County officials requested Insurance Service Office Inc., to conduct a study regarding public fire protection features in their district and the impact that these features will have on the ISO Classification. This report will provide information on specific fire protection features which are derived from the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule(FSRS), a copy of which is enclosed with this report. The entire thrust of the FSRS is to quantify on a relative scale of 1 thru 10, the capabilities of a community to control and suppress a fire when it occurs, and thus to limit the resulting lops. ISO does not want or intend to set standards for communities to design their municipal fire protection programs. The schedule has been designed to first develop the average class of fire protection for the small to moderate size buildings, which comprise the vast majority of all buildings in nearly all cities(city can refer to both incorporated and unincorporated areas). This system compares the average available protection with the average protection needed for these buildings. These buildings are defined as those having a needed fire flow(NFF)of 3500 gallons per minute(gpm)or less. The second section of the FSRS develops public protection classifications for large individual properties having needed fire flows greater than 3500 gpm. Most communities design their fire protection needs around normally expected fires. This design is recognized in the differing concept between these two sections. The Public Protection Classification developed in Section I of the FSRS is applicable to the average buildings, and the influence of the fire protection demands for the larger buildings has been removed from that analysis. Section II of the FSRS is applied individually to each large building to develop an individual public protection classification that reflects the available protection at that specific property. c 111 Summary In summary, a classification system has been developed for crediting the suppression potential of cities(fire districts)to handle buildings once they are burning. As a credit ' system it should provide clearer explanations of the value of an existing or improved condition. It avoids standard requirements wherever possible and is intended to credit any system, equipment, apparatus or personnel level which is brought to bear on the 11 suppression problem. The overall classification will consider the districts average ability to handle fires in all ' class-rated properties and in specifically rated properties with a needed fire flow of 3500 gpm or less. The classification of the district will not be affected adversely by fire suppression needs of larger properties. The fire department will receive somewhat more credit than the water supply system to recognize the prime importance of fire department operations in the early stages of fire suppression, and the fact that some fire suppression operations are possible with less than • adequate water supply. 1 L r • 111 1 II i ii 2 aa(p 5 SECTION II T I BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A FIRE PROTECTION PROGRAM Elements of Fire Protection I f A good public fire protection program should include consideration and development of the following elements: I1. Fire service communications 2. Apparatus and equipment 3. Fire department personnel and training 4. Organizational structure 5. Facilities and location 16. Water Supply Fire Service Communications Communications'are an essential element inublic fire p defenses. Fire service communications include the facilities for the general public to report fires,including automatic means for reporting J by private fire alarm and sprinkler systems,means for operators on duty at the communication center.4o alert personnel and dispatch appropriate fire department apparatus, and facilities for communicating en route to and at the fire scene. These facilities should be adequate and reliable under adverse conditions. Apparatus and Equipment ► The fire department's apparatus and equipment consists of the items which may be transported to the fire scene and used for fire fighting or rescue purposes. These items include vehicles, pumps, hose ladders, breathing equipment and various tools and appliances. The effectiveness of a fire department is directly dependent on the adequacy and reliability of this apparatus. A fire department gives constant attention to the maintenance, testing and care of its apparatus and equipment. j Fire Department Personnel and Training A fire department is an organization which consists of a group of people trained to work together for the common objective of fire protection. To function effectively, a fire department should have an organizational structure which provides well defined lines of authority and function. Firefighters should receive on-going training in order to think clearly and act effectively when faced with dangerous situations. Realistic training facilities should be provided to simulate fire, smoke and other conditions which may be encountered. # 3 3011 I Organizational Structure An effective fire department organizational structure clearly indicates lines of authority and responsibility. The functions of the fire department can be divided into two categories: line functions and staff functions. Line functions refer to those activities which are directly involved with fighting fires. Staff functions are those activities which involve such matters as administration, communications,training, public relations, secretarial and office management. In some cases one individual may be assigned both line and staff functions. Facilities and Location Fire department facilities consist of the buildings and grounds which are used for fire department 'i functions. • Locations should provide easy access to built-up areas, preferably not more than one and one-half 1 1 miles travel distance for pumpers and two and one-half miles for a ladder/service truck. Training facilities and aids should meet the needs of the department. Where there are numerous high-rise 11 buildings,a drill tower of a least four stories should be provided and a fire resistive building for 1 1 live fire practice.and operations in smoke conditions should be included. The training area of at least two acres should provide ample room for maneuvers and practice with hydrants, pumper test j' pits, burn pits and other standard features. Water supply for Fire Protection For effective fighting of fires of any magnitude an adequate and reliable water supply should be available. The city should have a sufficient number of hydrants located in the vicinity of larger rri structures and densely developed areas to enable the fire department to direct a sufficient number of hose streams to effectively control and extinguish the fire. rl n C' I,I I I 4 1 as g .1 .... I 4 SECTION III The Fire Suppression Rating Schedule In making an evaluation ISO conducts field surveys and witness tests to measure three principal Ifeatures of the fire suppression system as follows: Feature Number of Possible Credits PFire Alarms 10 n II Fire Department 50 . Water Supply 40 11 Total 100 HA significant difference between the total credit developed for the fire department as compared to the total credits developed for the water supply, results in a divergence penalty which adversely affects the total credit. The resulting rating classification is derived from the credit total in e accordance with the following table. 411.) e) Class Total Credits 1 90.00 or more 2 80.00 to 89.99 E, 3 70.00 to 79.99 4 60.00 to 69.99 5 50.00 to 59.99 I 6 40.00 to 49.99 7 30.00 to 39.99 11 8 20.00 to 29.99 9 10.00 to 19.99 10 Oto 9.99 NClass 9 Protection ... rWhere an area has a fire department but does not have a water supply which meets the minimum criteria of the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule, a Class 9 Public Protection Classification can be established. Under such conditions ISO normally develops an evaluation of the fire department by Japplying the criteria contained in the items of the"Class 9 Protection" section of the FSRS. If the criteria are met, a Class 9 Public Protection is established I 1 5 "roe aaG1 Class 8 or Better Needed Fire Flows-All residential(1 and 2 Family dwellings not exceeding 2 stories in height) needed fire flows are based on the following criteria: Distance between buildings Needed Fire Flow Over 100 feet 500 gpm 31-100 " 750 gpm 11-30 " 1000 gpm -- 10 feet or less 1500 gpm Needed fire flows for other habitational buildings will be based on size, height and construction but cannot exceed 3500 gpm. •Commercial Properties-The NFF established for commercial buildings are based upon (� construction, size(effective area), occupancy, height and exposure. l The Needed Fire Flow shall not exceed 12,000 gpm nor be less than 500 gpm. The NFF shall be rounded off to the nearest 250 gpm if less than 2500 gpm and to the nearest 500 gpm if greater than 2500 gpm. During the field visit an ISO representative will select various commercial and residential buildirfgthroughout the graded area to establish various needed fire flows. RECEIVING AND HANDLING FIRE ALARMS-Please refer to pages 8 thru 11 in the FSRS and also National Fire Protection Association(NFPA) Standard 1221 for more information. This section reviews the dispatch center,the equipment used to dispatch fire personnel and equipment for receiving this information from the dispatch center. Important items to consider: 1. Proper listing in the telephone directory(item 412 pg. 8-FSRS) 4111 2. Adequate number of operators to handle emergency calls- (a)For jurisdictions receiving 600 to 2500 alarms at least one operator shall be on duty at all times. QI (b) From 2501 to 10,000 alarms at least 2 operators shall be on duty. (c) For 10,001 and above NFPA 1221 (1994 Edition) states: (1)Ninety-five percent of alarms shall be answered within 30 seconds, and in no case shall the initial operator's response to an alarm exceed 60 seconds. These statistics can be compiled with the ANI and ALI data. I 6 a3 � J11 (2)The dispatch of the appropriate fire services shall be made within 60 seconds after the completed receipt of an emergency alarm. These statistics can usually be compiled from the CAD system. If the above criteria(documentation would be needed)can be met, then full credit will be given for the number of operators on duty, otherwise we revert back to the 1991 NFPA 1221 which requires 5 operators. Example: Over 10,000 alarms are received per year. Therefore, 3 operators are needed in the operating(dispatch)room and 2 other operators are needed in the communication center for a total of 5 needed operators. 3. Dispatch equipment-For fire departments receiving less than 600 alarms per year one dispatch circuit is needed. This can be a radio system, a CAD system with a computer printout at the fire station, a siren or a group alerting telephone system(certain systems such as a radio system or CAD system receive more credit than a siren or telephone group alert). If more than 600 alarms are received then 2 separate dispatch circuits are needed. When 2 dispatch circuits are needed, ALL alarms for fires in buildings shall be transmitted from the communication center to the fire stations and/or volunteers by 2 different methods. FIRE DEPARTMENT-Please refer to pages 12 thru 24 in the FSRS and also NFPA 1901, � 1904 and 1911 for additional information. '�^ Engine Companies-The number of engine companies needed in a city are based on one of the folloang: 1. Basic Fire Flow-A basic fire flow of 1000 gpm or less requires one engine company. A NFF of 1250-2500 requires 2 engine companies. A NFF of 3000-3500 requires 3 engine companies. A basic NFF of 3500 is the highest that can be used in the grading of the city. 2. Distribution-A "Standard Response District" is a built-upon area that is within satisfactory 1-1 response travel distance(1- 1/2 road miles). An additional engine company is needed for each area beyond 1-1/2 road miles of an existing station that is equal to 50% of a "Standard Response District". Normally we use the number of hydrants within 1-1/2 road miles to establish a "Standard" and by taking 50%of this total we then look for additional areas that meet this criteria. The same rules apply for a Ladder/service study except we use 2-1/2 road miles. Once all built-upon areas have been checked then the number of needed engine companies will either be based on the Basic Fire Flow(BFF)or by Distribution, whichever is greater. Equipment carried on pumpers- See page 12 item 512 regarding pump capacity and amount of hose to be carried and also page 14-table 512.A-FSRS. If a city has a BFF of 1500 then by BFF it needs two engine companies in service. In order to receive full credit for pump capacity it should have at least 1500 gpm in pump capacity(can be with more than 1 piece of apparatus). Each engine should also carry at least 1200 feet of 2-1/2"hose or larger 400 feet must be 2-1/2 or 3"). For maximum credit each engine should carry 654 points of credit as shown in table 512k Ii 7 �3 4 Equipment carried on Ladder/Service-If a city has at least 5 buildings that are 3 story or taller or a combination of NFF's greater than 3500 plus 3 story or taller buildings that equals 5 or more then the city will be graded against having a ladder company in service. See tables 544.A(pg. 19) 544.B and 544.0 (pg. 20-FSRS)for equipment needed. The height of the aerial will be based on the tallest building. If the city does not meet the above criteria then at least a service company is needed which should meet the requirements of table 544.A. ¢= Manpower-For maximum credit each engine and each ladder truck should have 6 fire fighters per unit. The minimum number of firefighters(paid or volunteer)that can respond to a structural fire is 4 total. For crediting purposes(point calculations)it takes 3 volunteers to equal 1 paid fire fighter. In other words it would take an average of 9 volunteers responding to alarms to receive the same credit as paid on-duty firefighters. This is the only difference between a paid and a volunteer department. Training-The minimum number of hours of training is 12 hours per man per year. See pages 23 and 24-FSRS for more information on specific training. WATER SUPPLY • A The minimum acceptable water system is one that can produce 250 gpm for a 2 hour duration. During the field visit, ISO representatives will visit each water facility verifying pump capacities, storage, consumption and other pertinent information. See pages 25 thru 26-FSRS. In addition, flow tests will be conducted throughout the city at selected commercial and residential areas to determine if the amount of water available meets the NFF for that location. Also a hydrant distribution study is done to determine if there is an adequate number of hydrants to satisfy the NFF. See pages 27 thru 28-FSRS. 11 For example: Hydrants within 300 feet of a property are credited at 1000 gpm. Hydrants 301-600 feet are credited at 670 gpm. ith Hydrants at 601-1000 feet are credited at 250 gpm. fl Al 8 I 411/ 411 If you had a NFF of 2000 gpm and the flow test indicated that there was 2000 gpm available but the closest hydrant was 800 feet,you would only receive 250 gpm credit for that particular NFF. No penalties are applied if hydrants are located on at least a 6-inch water main and have at least a pumper outlet with 2 2-1/2" outlets, and a barrel greater than 5" in diameter. Credit is given for inspections(maximum is twice a year)and condition of hydrants. We have given minimum and maximum requirements throughout this report. It is obvious that if a city wants to obtain a Class l rating then they would have to meet maximum requirements in most items,however, since this may not be practical, we will measure what is provided(as long as 411 certain minimum requirements are meet,which have been pointed out in this report)against what is needed and calculate the total credits earned and apply the appropriate Protection Class. Our comments refer only to the fire insurance classification which may be used in the calculation of property insurance premiums. They are not for property loss prevention or life safety purposes • and no life safety or property loss recommendations are made. .111 I 11 I • f1 I 9 • 33 .11 I INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT, FLORIDA ADISTRIBUTION STUDY I , , NO.OF HYDRANTS NO.OF HYDRANTS STATION NO.

However,the FSRS(Fire Suppression Rating D Schedule)allows us to throw out stations that may have a low count of hydrants due to Iseveral factors(area not developed, major highways cutting off access to parts of district, stations too close to city limits, lakes-etc.). I II I a31-4 . ........... 2-1/2 Mile Study-Ladder/Service Companies JTo determine the 2-1/2 mile standard response district we used Station 1. Total hydrants =659 representing a standard response district. To determine the need for additional ladder/service company locations we multiplied 659 by 50%which=330 hydrants which was used as a guide to determine the need for additional ladder/service companies. No additional Ladder companies needed,provided that the Ladder Company at Station 1 always respond to all structural fires. N The method used above to determine additional engine and ladder-service companies is based upon distribution only. It is based on meeting maximum credit in the Schedule (FSRS). S1Although the provisions of the Fire Su ression RatingSchedule may be of assistance to municipal officials when used in conjunction with their analysis of local needs,capabilities and priorities,the Schedule is not intended to serve as a planning guide for local fire protection. The final decision should be based on an analysis of * local priorities and financial capabilities. I L 4111 I 41 I 1 I I X35 I I MAP STUDIES Barrier Island -In our studies the north barrier island was not included, because over 95 percent of this area is over 5 road miles from a current fire station and therefore,this area is classified as Class 10, meaning that the highest fire insurance rates apply. If a station is built on the island, it should be located around State Road 510 and Jungle Trail which will provide the best distribution coverage. This will allow for the majority of the island to be within 5 road miles of a fire station and those properties would be eligible for Class 4 if located within 1000 feet of a recognized water source(otherwise Class 9 would apply). 1-1/2 Mile Study-Engine Companies To select a reasonable average for the 1-1/2 mile study, Stations 1, 2, 4 and 10 were �1 selected. Total hydrants within 1-1/2 miles of these 4 stations=644 divided by 4 = 161 f hydrants representing a standard response district. To determine the need for additional engine company locations we multiply the standard response district(1 61)by 50%which =81 hydrants which was used as a guide to determine additional engine companies. (IP Station 5(P-1) is not needed by distribution at its current location. It can be relocated to Martin Luther King Boulevard & Old Dixie Highway(Cover 97 hylrants). It should be noted that this move would create a larger Class 10 area in the Coastal Area north of Indian River Shores. Footnote: Other locations that could be used in lieu of the above,would be Grand Harbor Boulevard and Indian River Boulevard or Grand Harbor and U.S. 1. While these two locations would not necessarily meet full distribution requirements a station in either location would off-set the need for a station in this vicinity. Station 8(P-2) is not needed at its current location by distribution,but would be needed at Schumann Drive& S. Easy Street to cover 89 hydrants. Station 40 (P-4) is not needed by distribution and could be relocated to 43rd Avenue and 8th Street to cover 212 hydrants. Station 50(P-5)is not needed by distribution and could be relocated to Old Dixie Highway& 2nd Street to cover 167 hydrants. Station 9(P-6) is not needed by distribution and could be relocated to SW Sunrise Drive and SW 23rd Street to cover 99 hydrants. 1 Station 7 (P-7) is needed by distribution, but should be relocated to S.R. 60 and Pine Creek Boulevard to prevent the need for 2 additional engine locations.
