The Insurance Service Office improved the departmentâs PPC inside the town of Boone to a PPC two rating and a PPC three rating in the rural district. Both ratings will become effective on Feb. 1, 2021.These PPC evaluations are conducted nationwide on over 50,000 fire departments and are used to set local insurance rates.

Lower PPC ratings reflects the fire departmentâs ability to suppress a fire. The PPC rating has a direct impact on fire insurance rates for both homeowners and commercial properties within each district.
