The OSI has been notified by ISO, a rating/advisory organization, about a recent Public Protection Classification (PPC) survey involving the consolidation of the fire service protection areas (FSPA) of Fort Bayard and Santa Rita. As a result of the consolidation, policyholders protected by Fort Bayard FSPA (hydrated areas) are moving from class 4/4x to 5 and policyholders protected by newly created Fort Bayard Fire Department Supply (FDS) area (non-hydrated, hauled water areas) will be moving from 4x to 6/10. Santa Rita FSPA will no longer exist.
