A fire department does not know when it will have a line-of-duty death or serious injury and Fire Chiefs and survivors tell us that most Fire Departments are not prepared for these events.
Join us for half-day workshop on June 17th, 2025 as we discuss recent changes to the federal line-of-duty benefits offered through the PSOB program. Our guest speaker will be Ian Bennett, National Local Assistance State Team (LAST) Coordinator for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
