New Peachtree City fire rating might help homeowners

Peachtree City’s newly upgraded fire protection rating might help reduce insurance premiums for homeowners.

Based on response times and other factors, the city has been reclassified as a Class 1 community by the national Insurance Services Office, up from a previous Class 3.

Fire Chief Joe O’Conor said that this makes Peachtree City one of only 11 Georgia locations with that high of a rating. Homeowners who want to provide documentation of the new rating to their insurers can obtain a copy of the ISO letter at www.peachtree-city.org/fire.
