Real-World Claims Examples
Understanding how fire department coverage works when you need it:
Apparatus Collision Responding to Call
A fire engine is struck by a vehicle that ran a red light while responding to a structure fire. Apparatus coverage pays for vehicle repairs while emergency response liability handles any injury claims.
Firefighter Injury During Training
A volunteer firefighter breaks an ankle during a live burn training exercise. Volunteer accident coverage pays medical expenses and provides disability benefits during recovery.
Property Damage at Fire Scene
During an aggressive interior attack, firefighters damage expensive equipment in an adjacent undamaged room. Emergency response liability covers the property damage claim.
Equipment Theft
Thieves break into the station overnight and steal rescue tools, portable radios, and thermal imaging cameras. Equipment coverage replaces the stolen items.
Fundraiser Injury
A community member trips and falls at the annual pancake breakfast fundraiser. General liability covers their medical expenses and potential lawsuit.
