Beachwood fire ranks at top
The Insurance Services Office (ISO) collects
information on municipal fire-protection efforts
in communities throughout the United States.
In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the
relevant data using its Fire Suppression Rating
Schedule (FSRS) and assigns a Public Protection
Classification (PPC) from 1 to 10.
At a class 2, Beachwood is
in the top 1.75% of 49,000
departments throughout the
United States.
By classifying communities'
ability to suppress fires,
ISO helps the communities
evaluate their public fire-
protection services. By securing lower fire insurance premiums for
communities, the PPC program provides incentives and rewards for
communities that choose to improve their firefighting services.

Chief Winebrenner has been with the Beachwood Police Department

"My goal is to provide the training and support needed by the men
and women who put on the uniform every day and serve the City of
Beachwood. All of us want to provide the best services possible to the
community," said Chief Winebrenner. "I felt honored nearly 25 years ago
when I was given the opportunity to serve this community as a patrol
officer and I still feel that way today."
