The Kingman Fire Department has successfully passed inspection to receive a public protection classification from the Insurance Services Office, which assesses fire departments across the country for their ability to protect property from loss by fire. Since the early 1970s, ISO has applied its rating system to each community to rate them for their ability to protect insured loss, a big factor in determining insurance premiums for the community. KFD went through an on-site examination by ISO in 2012 and was rated as Class 4 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 representing the best score.
