Mission Statement

The mission of the Royse City Fire Department is to protect the lives and property of the people of Royse City from fires, natural disasters, and hazardous materials incidents; to save lives by providing fire and rescue services; to prevent fires through prevention and education programs; and to provide a quality, professional fire protection and life safety service to meet the needs of our community.

ISO Rating – The Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating is a reflection of our fire suppression and control resources and a lower rating is a better score. Some insurance companies use the ISO rating to set homeowner’s insurance rates.  A lower ISO rating may reduce insurance premiums for some homeowners.  In early 2013, the city was notified that our ISO rating be lowered from a 5 to a 3.
