As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, Palatine, Illinois, has a fire protection class rating of 3. This rating is based on the Public Protection Classification (PPC) system established by the Insurance Services Office (ISO), which evaluates the fire protection capabilities of communities. A lower class rating indicates better fire protection services, which can lead to lower insurance premiums for property owners. For the most current information, it's advisable to check with local fire authorities or the ISO directly.

Fire resistance on the other hand is a term that relates to a construction's ability to resist the passage of fire (e.g. a wall, floor, door etc). The fact that a material is "Class 1" doesn't necessarily have any bearing on its fire resistance performance. For example, PVC cladding can be obtained to a 'Class 1' rating, but it wouldn't contribute much to the wall's fire resistance performance at all.
