This page has information describing the state of community fire protection in the United States. The information can help you benchmark your community’s level of fire protection against other cities and towns in your state and the country as a whole.
Number within Classification
For information about your own community’s public fire protection, a customized Public Protection Classification (PPC®) report is available by mail. The report includes a list of the needed fire flows for all the commercial occupancies we have on file for your community, as well as details of the latest review of your community’s fire protection services (your PPC grading). The report is available, free of charge, to your community’s fire chief or chief administrative official.
Please mail your request on fire department letterhead or your chief administrative official’s letterhead to your National Processing Center.
