Since he was selected Florence Fire Chief three years ago, Jeffrey Perkins has had a goal to reduce the department's Insurance Service Office (ISO) rating.
“I’ve been with the department for 26 years, and we had been a 4, which is great, and we have worked hard to maintain that,” Perkins said. “But I set a goal to reduce the rating.”
In an effort to make that happen, Perkins contacted Doug Hatton, an ISO instructor and consultant for the Alabama Fire College.
