Bulloch County Fire Services announces significant improvements in ISO Public Protection Classification

Bulloch County officials are proud to announce a major milestone in public safety as the Insurance Services Office (ISO) has officially upgraded the county’s Public Protection Classification (PPC). Effective September 1, 2026, the county will move to a Class 04/10 rating, a significant improvement from previous assessments. “This improved rating is a testament to the strategic priority our Board of Commissioners and staff have placed on enhancing public safety infrastructure. By consolidating our fire service districts and investing in modern equipment and personnel, we have created a more robust and efficient emergency response system,” County Manager Chris Eldridge stated. This flat Class 4 rating is the direct result of strategic investments in fire suppression infrastructure and the county’s successful initiative to resume fire protection responsibilities for the 5-mile district previously serviced by the city. By consolidating these services, Bulloch County has enhanced operational efficiency and response capabilities across the region.
