Trenton officials hope for better fire insurance rating, lower rates

Fire insurance rates soon could fall for residents of Trenton, Ga.

At least that’s the hope of city officials and firefighters after the recent completion of an Insurance Services Organization examination.

The city has an ISO rating of six on a one-to-10 scale, with one being the best rating and 10 being the worst. The lower the rating, the lower the fire insurance rates for residents.

Ratings include evaluations of firefighting infrastructure and record keeping.

Trenton “missed a five during the last ISO rating in 1995 by just over one point,” said fire and utilities Commissioner Tommy Lawson.
