What can you tell me about the hydrants in Litchfield Township?Litchfield has less than 10% pressurized hydrants. If there is a fire, this means we have to either haul water with tankers or use a static water source such as dry hydrants or ponds for the other 90% of the township.
-
What is the ISO/PPC rating I keep hearing about?Our fire department is audited every five years by the Insurance Service Office to determine our ISO/PPC (Public Protection Classification) rating. We were audited in 2016 and went from a 7/9 split classification to a 5, which in return should lower our taxpayers’ insurance rates . . . good news for all of us!
