Meadows Place and their fire department on receiving the rare national 
distinction of a PPC top ranking of 1.

Out of the 48,000 other communities that were evaluated, only 80 out of 
the entire nation have received such an incredible ranking from the 
Insurance Services Office (ISO).
  The ISO utilizes a classification system to rank cities on their Fire 
Department's ability to protect their communities from fire-related 
incidents. The system evaluates fire alarm facilities, fire suppression 
equipment, and other fire department procedures. This comprehensive 
evaluation method demonstrates that it takes both exemplary city 
leadership and a dedicated Fire Department to achieve a ranking of this 
superior level. The leadership and Fire Department of the City of 
Meadows Place have truly prioritized the safety and welfare of their 
citizens.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to the City of Meadows Place and its Fire 
Department on receiving the highest rank from the ISO. We know that you 
will continue to set an example in excellence, and we thank you for 
your service.
