On behalf of the Town of Mount Pleasant Fire Department, Mayor Haynie and Town Council, as well as Chief Herb Williams, are pleased to announce the recent upgrade of the fire department's ISO rating from a three to a two. The Insurance Services Office (ISO), an organization that independently evaluates municipal fire protection efforts in communities throughout the United States, offers an ISO scale ranging from one to 10, with one being the highest rating. The ISO upgrade follows several recently awarded department recognitions, namely their fourth national re-accreditation by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International and an improved Public Protection Classification. Congratulations MPFD!
