Your City of Katy Fire Department is also an ISO Class 1 department . The Class 1 rating is the highest possible score that can be given to any fire department nationwide. An ISO fire rating is a score provided to fire departments and insurance companies by the Insurance Services Office. This score also reflects how prepared a community and the surrounding area is for handling fires. While it mainly focuses on the local fire departments and water supply, other factors contribute to a departments score. The City of Katy Fire Department ’s ability to earn the rating of Class 1 is a reflection of the City of Katy ’s commitment to providing quality public safety services to the citizens, businesses, and visitors of our community.
