FREE! Insurance Service Office (ISO) Public Protection Classification (PPC) Program - Spring 2027 PSTC

In this class, you will learn about ISO’s Public Protection Classification (PPC) program, the system which ISO uses to review the firefighting capabilities of nearly 48,000 fire districts across the United States. The primary focus will be on the newly implemented revisions to the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS), the manual used for collecting and processing data for those evaluations. As a result of feedback from a variety of national, state and local organizations in the fields of fire suppression, emergency communications, water supply and code enforcement, ISO has made several key revisions to the PPC program, which are intended to reflect current trends in fire protection and to improve the predictive nature of the community fire mitigation evaluation process and rating. We will provide a detailed review of these changes, including the introduction of a new Community Risk Reduction section, which evaluates Fire Prevention, Public Fire Safety Investigation and Fire Investigation. Fire chiefs and community officials can rely on ISO as an objective source of information and support. Prerequisites: Minimum age: 18 years old at start of course and ELIF.
