The Okolona Fire Protection District earned a Class 2 rating from the Insurance Services Office (ISO), according to the organization’s Public Protection Classification (PPC) system. The rating, which was upgraded from a "3", is the second-highest level on a scale of 1-10 and is recognized when home insurance rates are determined. It is based on such factors as water supply and distribution, fire department apparatus and equipment, distribution of fire companies, staffing and training of fire personnel, fire alarm processing, and fire prevention efforts.
