Here for you.

Holistic protections from the nation's leading insurance provider for emergency service organizations.

Driven by mission.
Duty to others, tradition and innovation are some of the driving forces behind every emergency service organization—and that's what drives our mission, too.

VFIS is proud to have pioneered specialized insurance protections for America's emergency service organizations over fifty years ago. And we're just as proud of our continued dedication to respond to the unique needs of fire departments, EMS agencies, communication centers and other emergency service organizations through our holistic protections, responder training and safety-forward solutions.

By your side—on and off duty.

As a team comprised of many current and past emergency responders—we truly know what it's like to walk in your boots.

"It's actually firefighters insuring firefighters. That's what it boils down to. And, EMS insuring EMS."
Jim Stokely, Kerxton Insurance Agency
"I've always been impressed by VFIS staff because they're often firefighters themselves. They know the challenges we face—both in volunteer, combination and career departments. We often find ourselves speaking to someone who can help us solve our problems with safety, mitigation and prevention to make sure we can create an environment that is safe for our citizens and firefighters."
Dan Eggleston, International Association of Fire Chiefs
"When you work in a space that you're passionate about—and VFIS is clearly passionate about this segment—it comes through, and that's really unique."
Ed Gumbrecht, VFIS of Southern New England
"VFIS is really special to the clients because of their engagement—on so many levels—whether it's coverage, service or community service. They're engaged in the community they serve. And, that's so unusual—specifically in the insurance industry."
Jon Jensen, Correll Insurance Group

There in the moments that matter

Insurance policies are designed to support people on some of their worst days—and for emergency responders, these days can be truly devastating. That's why we see it as our duty to deliver on our promises, be true advocates for the fire and emergency services community and understand your needs better than anyone else. But you don't have to take our word for it—hear what fellow responders have to say.
