The city of Red Wing received a new improved rating of its fire suppression delivery system, which may save homeowners and commercial property owners money on their insurance premiums.
The rating was the result of a recently completed Public Protection Classification (PPC) survey from the Insurance Services Office, according to the city. The survey was conducted with the cooperation of the Red Wing Fire Department and Public Works Department, which maintains the city’s fire hydrant system. The 911 system was also included in the evaluation.
