The Village of Prairie du Sac’s fire department recently improved their Insurance Service Office (ISO) Public Protection Classification (PPC) survey rating from a four to three. The program measures and evaluates the effectiveness of fire-mitigation services provided in communities. “It’s very exciting that the Village of Prairie du Sac was able to reduce our ISO rating from a four to a three. As we continue to build on improvements made to the village’s water system and fire department, a positive effect has resulted in the department’s ISO rating,” said Village of Prairie du Sac Fire Chief James Schulenburg. Most insurance companies use ISO's PPC when calculating residential and business premiums. An improved ISO score can lead to a reduction in property insurance premiums for residents and businesses in the Village of Prairie du Sac.
