We are Fire Districts of New York Mutual Insurance Company
FDM was founded in 1978 by a group of Fire Districts for the purpose of providing superior claims service to Volunteer Fire Service in New York.
Niche-Focused Experience
VFBL & Workers’ Compensation
We know the fire service!
We know the coverage!
We know the law!
FDM provides the maximum benefits allowable under New York State Volunteer Firefighters' Benefits Law/New York State Workers' Compensation Law, to our firefighters, both volunteer and paid and district personnel. Since VFBL and WC are our only lines of business, we bring a level of expertise to our policyholders second to none.
We believe that the last thing our brave firefighter/EMS personnel should have to worry about in their time of need is their insurance coverage. FDM provides coverage based upon 100% earning capacity for all its members' policyholders.
We are experienced and responsive, and here to process claims promptly and professionally. What's more is that we also keep your injured personnel and organization up to date on the status of claims. The seats on FDM's Board of Directors are filled by both officers from the Fire Districts we insure and outside directors. These Fire District directors and outside directors ensure that we are focused on providing the best possible service to our volunteers.
As a mutual company, we are owned by our policyholders. Working through the agent of your choice, we would be more than happy to provide you with a no obligation quote. Click here to Request A Quote.
