Benefit Advantages for Emergency Responders

Benefit Advantages for Emergency Responders Today, CSFEWBC is offering benefits to ALL California Emergency Responders. There is a great need for these benefits in the California Fire Service.

BAER is dedicated to providing benefits & essential resources to ALL California Volunteer Emergency Responders while also helping departments recruit and retain volunteers to help strengthen their commitment to community. 🚒🚨🇺🇸 The California State Firefighters’ Employee Welfare Benefits Corporation (CSFEWBC) was previously the benefits division of the California State Firefighters’ Association (CS

FA). For that reason, we’re now doing business as BAER - Benefit Advantages for Emergency Responders. As a non-profit organization, BAER has long provided quality benefits and services to California Volunteer Emergency Responders, including Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage. BAER is committed to not only providing such benefits, but educating Volunteer Fire Departments and members about how to successfully enroll for these benefits to better protect all volunteers. BAER has partnered with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FEMA via a SAFER grant to continue offering valuable benefits and protection to all of California’s Volunteer Emergency Responders. In addition, BAER is looking to recruit a new generation of volunteer Firefighters throughout the state.

Cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty death in the fire service—and it affects both career and volunteer firefighters.

During Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month, we pause to recognize the risks our firefighters face and the importance of education, prevention, and reducing exposure to carcinogens—on the fireground and back at the station.

Learn the risks. Support prevention efforts. Share this message and stand with those who put their lives on the line every day.
