The New Mexico Office of Superintendent of Insurance (OSI) published a bulletin on the recent consolidation of fire service protection areas (FSPA) of Fort Bayard and Santa Rita.

Following a Public Protection Classification (PPC) survey, ISO notified the OSI of changes to the classification of the Fort Bayard and Santa Rita areas. This will result in some policyholders having a less favorable classification, but many will improve classification. Class 1 generally means superior fire protection, while class 10 may not meet ISO’s minimum standards.
