In 2016, the Lyle Fire Department underwent an evaluation by the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau (WSRB). As a result of the positive evaluation findings, Lyle Fire District has improved the district's Protection Class (PC) rating from PC 8 to PC 7, effective Sept 1, 2016.
The PC 7 rating applies to dwellings and commercial properties that are within 1000 feet of a fire hydrant.
Many insurance companies include the Protection Class in determining homeowner's insurance rates. This PC rating improvement may translate to a lower homeowner's insurance rate for many in Lyle.
Protection Class ratings for individual dwellings and commercial properties are available free of charge by calling WSRB Customer service at (206) 217-0101 or e-mailing customerservice@wsrb.com.
WSRB recommends that residents of Lyle contact their insurance agents to determine the relative effect of this Protection Classification on their insurance premiums.
