Washington State Fire Chiefs along with their insurance broker, Shane Heston of Trask Insurance, are pleased to announce a new benefit to our member departments with 50k to 100k in assessed value.
Recently WFC partnered with Provident Insurance, a leading insurer for emergency services, to roll out a new 24 hour AD&D Accidental Death and Dismemberment group policy. This group policy is intended to cover departments that are generally smaller in size and mostly volunteer. The idea behind this benefit is to be included with membership with WFC and used as an incentive increasing volunteer benefits within both the department and WFC membership.
Executive Director Wayne Senter, “This new benefit demonstrates WFC’s commitment to achieve one of WFC’s top priorities to help promote recruitment and retention within volunteer departments.” This will benefit approx. 60 member departments and over 1200 firefighters. “It is our intention to look for ways to increase the coverage to include more departments in the future. By adding this benefit departments that do not offer any outside additional coverage benefits will benefit the most. This is just another way that Washington State Fire Chiefs is working for you.”
This new benefit is expected to be available in fall of 2016. Departments will be individually notified with details of coverage, etc. In addition, departments will also have the option to increase the level of coverage on an individual basis.
