"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."
