After a recent audit by the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office, we’re proud to announce the City of Orange Fire Department has retained its Class 2/2X Public Protection Classification (PPC) rating!
This achievement places Orange among the top fire protection communities in the nation — only a small percentage of cities earn a Class 2 or better! 🚒👏
The PPC rating, evaluated by the Insurance Services Office (ISO), measures key factors such as:
💧 Water supply
🚨 Emergency communications
🧑🚒 Staffing, training & equipment
🚒 Pre-fire planning
What this means for our community:
📈 Confidence that your Fire Department meets high national standards
💵 Potential for lower insurance premiums
🧯 Continued investment in public safety and fire protection
Thank you to the City Council and supporting agencies for their cooperation in maintaining this level of protection! Property owners are encouraged to check with their insurance provider to see if this classification benefits their policy. 🧑🚒🚒🔥
