Many individuals do not realize the
correlation between the strength of our Fire Department and our homeowner’s
insurance (ISO). The better equipped and
trained our department is, the lower our ISO rates are. Our current ISO rating is 5 on a scale of 1
to 10. With that in mind, it’s easy to see a direct benefit for citizen’s when
we help our department, especially by paying yearly dues to help fund tools and
equipment volunteers need when disaster strikes. To the left is a chart showing how dues
are figured for the residents and businesses in and around the City of Hermann.
