Woodstock Fire Department Maintains Prestigious ISO Class 1 Rating The Woodstock Fire Department’s ISO Class 1 rating reflects the highest level of fire protection services. The Insurance Services Office (ISO) evaluates fire departments nationwide, rating them on a scale from 1 to 10, with Class 1 representing superior property fire protection. This rating is based on a comprehensive review of fire department capabilities including staffing levels, automatic aide agreements, equipment quality, training, E911, emergency response times, water supply, and community risk reduction efforts. "This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. It reflects our commitment to providing the highest level of fire protection and safety services to the residents of Woodstock," said Fire Chief Shane Dobson. The Class 1 rating not only recognizes the excellence of the Woodstock Fire Department but also benefits the community by potentially lowering insurance premiums for homeowners and businesses. This achievement underscores the department's readiness and capability to respond effectively to emergencies and emphasizes the excellent partnership with Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services — all of which helps to ensure the safety and well-being of all citizens. "Successfully maintaining an ISO Class 1 rating places the Woodstock Fire Department in the top 1.5% of departments nationwide," said Mayor Michael Caldwell. The Woodstock Fire Department remains dedicated to enhancing its services and capabilities, investing in advanced training, state-of-the-art equipment, and community outreach programs.
