A fire rating is determined by the Insurance Services Organization which evaluates the current capabilities of a fire suppression agency. The rating based on a scale of 1-10 ( 1 being the best) is assigned to all fire agencies in the State of Alabama and is commonly used by insurance companies to determine your fire insurance rates. The lower the rating, the lower a homeowner’s insurance rate will be. Currently, the City of Hoover has an insurance rating of 2 . Out of 47,000 fire departments that the ISO rates nationwide, less than 1% have achieved this rating.
Absolutely not ! While several organizations do legally solicit funds by telemarketing, we do not endorse or recommend participating in any fundraiser which solicits by phone. Our local charity event is our annual golf tournament which raises money for the Children’s Hospital Camp Conquest . Camp Conquest provides children who have experienced a burn injury an opportunity to attend a week long summer camp.
Fire Administration offices are located at the Hoover Public Safety Center -2020 Valleydale Road, Hoover, 35244
