Master Fire Planning |
||
|
Master Fire Plan development is a service the Kansas Forest Service Fire
Management Program offers to counties at no charge. The Master Fire Plan
has two goals: to improve coordination, quality, and safety of fire
suppression operations and to improve the Public Protection
Classification (PPC) as determined by ISO (Insurance Services Office).
The PPC is used in the determination of rates for homeowners insurance. Contrary to what the title may imply, implementing a Master Fire Plan DOES NOT create a county-wide fire department and DOES NOT transfer control of one departments' equipment to someone outside the department. The plan is designed to provide recommendations and realistic solutions to fire departments interested in improving their PPC. To learn more about Master Fire Plans or to request a plan contact the Fire Planning Specialist. |
