State Benefits Guide

The NVFC hopes that the State Benefits Guide will serve as a useful resource to both fire service leaders and legislators on the state level to compare what their state government does for its firefighters with other states. In the end we hope that this information sharing will lead to better state benefits and recognition of the more than 800,000 members of America's volunteer fire service.
 
The NVFC would like to thank the U.S. Fire Administration, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, the Alabama Association of Volunteer Fire Departments, the California State Firefighters Association, the North Carolina State Firemen's Association, the South Carolina State Firemen's Association and everyone else who participated in this project for all of their efforts.
