Congratulations is in order for the entire organization for improving its ISO rating from a Class 3 to a Class 2 in the 2019 audit. This is a measure of the fire protection service Cedar Hammock provides to the community. The scale is 1 through 10 with 1 being the best. There are less than 5% of departments in the nation rated with a Class 2 or better. Cedar Hammock has achieved this through a twenty percent increase in staffing, and the addition of a ladder truck to the fleet over the last four years. The public may see a reduction in insurance rates as a result.
