Not good. From there website: Fire suppression in the city is provided by a full time fire chief and 50 paid-on-call members. The Department has attained a split class ISO rating of 5/9.
That means that if you live near a hydrant (and I mean within a few hundred feet) your rating is most likely a 5. And if you live further away from a hydrant then you are a 9 which is the worst number you can get.
For comparison, nearby Cedarburg, which has an all volunteer force has an ISO rating of 3/6 which means that if you live in the city of Cedarburg you have a 3 (pretty much the best a volunteer department can get) and if you live in the town of Cedarburg (away from hydrants) you are at a 6 which is very good for not having a municipal water source which forces the fire department to shuttle water in their trucks.
ISO grades many things including apparatus that the department has, pump sizes, nearest water sources, training, surrounding departments and many other factors.
