ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV)-- The City of Savannah and the Savannah Rural Fire Departments have announced new public protection classification (PPC) ratings from the Insurance Services Office. 

Beginning April 1, 2026, hydranted areas will receive a Class 4 rating, while unhydranted, water-hauled areas will be rated 5/10. 

According to a news release, these improved ratings are the result of thousands of hours of firefighter training, equipment upgrades, faster and effective emergency responses and strong support from the residents within the fire district. 

KQ2 will update this story.
