fire insurance rating (WSRB)

The Griffin Fire Department is proud to hold a fire insurance rating of 4, as determined by the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau (WSRB). This rating was issued following our most recent evaluation in 2022 and took effect on March 1, 2023.
WSRB conducts these evaluations every five years, assessing factors like training, equipment, water supply, and response capabilities—including our tender (water truck) operations.
​
Community members are encouraged to contact their insurance providers to see if this improved rating may qualify them for policy discounts. Click here for more information.

Griffin Fire Department is honored to serve the Steamboat Island community and remains committed to providing high-quality service, readiness, and public safety.
