We finally received our new ISO rating based on the addition of Station 2 and the amended water flow reports for Shelby County. We are now a 3/3X which is better than we had anticipated. I seriously doubt that this will have any impact on insurance rates but it does indicate that we are providing a high level of fire protection services for our area. I'd like to say that everyone of you on the Board plays a key role in helping us provide such a high level of service.
On behalf of the men and women of the Pewee Valley Fire Protection District I would like to say "thank you" for your confidence and continued support.
