The Tusayan Fire District has received an ISO (Insurance Office Service) rating of three.

The scale is one to 10 with one being the highest. It marks a significant improvement over the years and places Tusayan Fire in the top 20% nationwide.

Fire Chief Greg Brush said, “In 2015, TFD was rated as a Class 6.  In 2020, TFD rose from a 6 to a 4, which is a respectable increase. TFD was just evaluated as a Class 3, placing our town's fire department in the top 17% of fire departments nationwide!  Obviously, a great deal of effort goes into earning the best evaluation possible over the 5-year period, and this is a huge commitment by everybody in the department.”

At the January Town Council meeting Chief Brush thanked to Town’s continued financial support.  Because Tusayan Fire is a Fire District as opposed to a Town Department, the town is not obligated to provide financial support. However given the massive numbers of people travelling through Tusayan, the town deems the support very necessary.

The 3 rating goes into effect February 1st and is good for five years. It can be a factor in lowering insurance rates.
