The ISO classification applies to properties with needed "fire <br />flow" of less than 3,500 gallons per minute (GPM). The classification affects the fire insurance <br />rating for the vast majority of buildings in the City. Larger buildings with greater fire flows are <br />individually rated for insurance purposes. <br />The ISO classification measure for fire service distribution in Paris is based on the percent of the <br />built-on area of the City which has a first-due engine company within one and one-half (1-1/2) <br />miles and a ladder-service company within two and one-half (2-1/z) miles. There are other ways <br />to measure the City's existing and desired distribution of fire service. The National Fire <br />Protection Association (NFPA) recommends afirst-due company within two (2) miles of <br />residential areas, within one and one-half (1-'h) miles of commercial areas, and within one (1) <br />mile of buildings requiring a 5,000 gpm fire flow. Many factors affect decisions about fire <br />station location. Among them are the fire history of specific areas, the amount of fire protection <br />provided within buildings (e.g., sprinklers, and detectors), and the density of residential areas. <br />sAvsxss\weOrinai m[x>n z-oiA>c 30 BWR <br />
