ISO Rating Information

ISO Rating

The ISO rating is based on a inspection by the North Carolina Department of Insurance. The inspection measures the ability of the fire department to respond to structure fires in its response district. This insurance rating is important because it affects the cost of fire protection insurance paid by the property owner. The lower of a rating that is earned by the Fire Department results in discounted premiums on the cost of insurance.

Cleveland Fire Department is very proud to have earned an ISO rating of 4/9. Structures that are within 5 miles of either of our fire stations have a rating of 4. This includes the majority of our fire district. A small part of our response district is beyond a 5 mile range and have a rating of 9.

A row of vacant single story apartments caught fire just before midnight tonight at 1015 S Lombard Street in Clayton, across from West Clayton Elementary. No one was injured. Clayton Fire crews will do full search of debris momentarily, but initial checks showed no one was inside. A Fire Marshall is investigating what started the fire. There was heavy damage to Unit 5 (which was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived), smoke damage to Unit 4, and possibly some residual damage to Units 1,2, and 3. Again, neighbors report all apartments have been vacant since January. Thank you to neighbors who called 911 reporting smell of smoke. Thank you to Garner Fire Rescue, Cleveland Fire Department Clayton, NC 27520, Johnston County Emergency Services and the Clayton Police Department who came to assist. ... See MoreSee Less
