The PPC program recognizes the efforts of communities to provide fire-protection services for citizens and property owners. A community's investment in fire mitigation is a proven and reliable predicator of future fire losses. So insurance companies use PPC information to help establish fair premiums for fire insurance — generally offering lower premiums in communities with better protection. By offering economic benefits for communities that invest in their firefighting services, the program provides a real incentive for improving and maintaining public fire protection.

The Insurance Services Office, Inc. has completed their analysis of the structure fire suppression delivery system for Lake Tanglewood Volunteer Fire Department. ISO is the leading supplier of statistical, underwriting, and actuarial information for the property/casualty insurance industry in Texas.

This means that the community’s fire suppression services are improving in the face of the demands of a changing environment. Only 363 communities out of 2253 rated communities in Texas are rated higher.
ISO PPC program evaluates communities according to a uniform set of criteria defined in the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule. This criteria incorporates nationally recognized standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works Association.
