SOUTH BAY FIRE DISTRICT 8

INSURANCE CLASSIFICATION

​

The Washington Survey & Rating Bureau (WSRB) is an independent non-profit public service organization that gathers and publishes information to assist the insurance industry in determining fire protection and suppression capabilities for the purpose of setting fire insurance premium rates.  WSRB assigns all Washington State communities a grade, or Community Protection Classification (CPC), ranging from 10 (little or no capability) to 1 (exemplary fire protection capabilities).

The WSRB systematically re-evaluates fire departments all over the state on a regular basis.As a result of that evaluation, the WSRB has classified our protection rating as Class 3 with tender credits. A CPC of “Class 3” will apply to residential and commercial properties located within five road miles of a recognized responding fire station and having standard fire hydrant distribution and water supply.Properties in the community not meeting the above requirements will receive a different protection class rating than the CPC.The three recognized responding fire stations are located at:

​

3506 Shincke Road NE (South Bay Fire station)

5046 Boston Harbor Road NE (North Olympia Fire station)

8100 Johnson Point Road NE (Johnson Point Fire station)
