As of July 1, 2018 the Insurance Services Organization (ISO) rating for the Georgetown County Fire/EMS changed to a class 4/4.  This change effected properties depending upon the type of building construction, the hazards of occupancy and other factors.  Insurance policyholders should contact their insurance agent or company to determine the effect this change in classification might have on their homeowner policies. 

The Class 4 applies to properties in the district within 1,000 feet of a public fire hydrant or recognized water supply suction point, within five (5) road miles or less of a responding fire station and within the needed fire flow of 3500 gallons per minute (G.P.M) or less.  The Class 9 applies to properties within five (5) road miles of the responding fire station but beyond 1,000 feet of the fire hydrant or suction point.  The Class 10 applies to properties beyond five (5) road miles of the fire station.  Evaluated individually, the private and public protections may vary from the district classification.
