Activities and Initiatives

1
Insurance Services Office (ISO) Class 1
The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District has received the highest ISO rating:
Independent Analysis of Fire Suppression Delivery System
Less than 1% of fire departments nationwide hold this designation
ISO Classification Plays Role in Underwriting & Property Insurance Pricing
Property owners are encouraged to contact their property insurance providers and ask how a Class 1 rating will affect their premium
2
Resolved our legal dispute with PG&E
Left the District’s Safety Ordinance No. 35 in place
Calls for advance notification when PG&E is performing any non-emergency work that could result in a fire hazard or initiates a Public Safety Power Shutoff (“PSPS”)
Levies fines for non-compliance with advance notification requirements
Provides a mechanism for the District to be reimbursed if additional units put into service due to a PSPS event
3
Statewide Bill Introduced – AB 2070
Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan introduces a bill that mirrors San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District Ordinance No. 35
The bill would assist in the prevention of wildfires by increasing coordination between local fire districts and utility companies
AB 2070 would require utilities to notify fire districts of controlled burns and other risky mitigation work during high fire-risk times
