To my ISO expert friends--
A neighboring department is considering shutting down. We have always rolled automatic mutual aid with them, but they have never had ISO come do a survey. We are a split 6/9 and the inspector told our chief that if we took that department on as a substation, it would knock our six back to an eight or so.
The other department has a pumper (never tested) and a tanker. We have two pumpers, one tanker, and a service truck. Both have quite a few hydrants.
Is there any way to work on things with them prior to taking them over to be able to take them over without taking a hit on our own rating?
