The declining and aging volunteer firefighter base is a major concern for many fire departments and community leaders—especially in more rural areas and among smaller departments.

To help combat this challenge, many emergency service departments have implemented programs, like a cost-effective LOSAP plan, to help them recruit, retain, and reward volunteer firefighters based on their longevity of service.

VFIS is proud to be the leader of LOSAPs in emergency services nationwide and to serve as a trusted resource to LOSAP clients to help them better understand and utilize their benefits.

That's why Chris Rodgers, VFIS Industry Specialist, and Sarah M. Talerico, VFIS LOSAP Client Relationship Manager, sat down to share some best practices to help you properly maintain your LOSAP, including important paperwork and information to keep updated.
