    That’s simplifying it a bit. It wasn’t particularly accurate because it didn’t really take into account the fire-proofing that people had done to their properties while insurance companies were planning to use it to set rates. It wasn’t meant to be used the way it was.

      A map isn’t going to take into account and individual building’s fire resistance. Also, it isn’t like insurers didn’t have their own internal maps.
