Fireman's Fund Insurance Company funded and presents "Into the Fire" to raise the nation's consciousness about the challenges faced by firefighters in an environment of shrinking budgets and increasing demands.
The commitment of Fireman's Fund® to firefighters traces back to its original charter and is the reason for the company name. Fireman's Fund was founded in 1863 with a mission to donate a portion of its profits to firefighters. One of the few insurance companies to honor all claims following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Fireman's Fund is a pioneer in insuring some of the greatest civic projects in our nation's history, including the Golden Gate Bridge. Today the company continues its social mission through the Fireman's Fund HeritageSM program. Fireman's Fund also works with leading national firefighter organizations such as the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the International Association of Fire Chiefs to support firefighters across the country.
Through this program, Fireman's Fund employees and independent agents direct grants and provide volunteer support to local fire departments, national firefighter organizations and nonprofit fire and burn prevention organizations. The company awards millions of dollars in grants to fire departments nationwide each year towards the purchase of needed equipment, firefighter training and community education programs. At the national level, grants support programs to improve firefighter safety and reduce line-of-duty deaths in the fire service in association with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
Fireman's Fund is dedicated to America's firefighters because when firefighters are well-supported, the entire community benefits from better safety and protection. The Fireman's Fund Heritage program is a reflection of the company's corporate values—courageous, caring, inspired and dependable.
