Workers’ compensation insurer, Texas Mutual Insurance Co., has partnered with VFIS of Texas, a provider of specialized insurance solutions for the emergency service industry, to create a grant program for rural fire departments. The program will fund safety training and certifications for emergency services employees.
Rich Gergasko, president of Texas Mutual, presented a $5,000 check to David Wade, president of the State Firemen’s and Fire Marshals’ Association (SFFMA), during the Annual SFFMA Training Conference and Convention at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott & Convention Center.
A committee of VFIS and SFFMA staff will review grant applications and administer funds on an as-needed basis.
Texas Mutual and VFIS of Texas also partner to offer a workers’ compensation safety group for qualifying fire departments and nonprofit EMS organizations. Group members have access to free safety training materials designed for their industry. They also get premium discounts and potential dividends if they control workplace accidents.
