Agenda Item # 3 – ISO insurance issue was discussed. Almost everyone on the Committee got a different answer from the insurance companies on what would happen if the Fire Department rating went to ISO 10 or the Department was decertified. In all cases however the cost of insurance would go up and possibly the home fire insurance would not be renewed.
