As a result of an assessment of fire protection services conducted by the Insurance Services Office's (ISO) Public Protection Classification (PPC) Service, the North Bellmore Fire Department has been ranked as the highest on Long Island as well as among the top one percent in New York and throughout the United States. Of 69 departments in Nassau County, North Bellmore is one of only six that has achieved a PPC of 2, the best given in the county; none of 109 departments in Suffolk County received Class 1 or Class 2 designations.

The classification of the department's ability to fight fires helps a community determine the effectiveness of its fire protection service and assists fire districts in planning and budgeting for facilities, equipment and training. The standard with which the departments are rated is the same throughout the United States. North Bellmore has maintained a Class 2 ISO ranking since 2001.

With the cooperation the Board of Fire Commissioners, the Chief's Office, Company Line Officers and the department’s members we continue to maintain high standards regarding our training and equipment in order to provide our community with the highest quality of service possible.
