Fire service personnel should not have to worry about injury in the line of duty. As a mutual company, we are owned by our policyholders, working through the insurance broker of your choice. We are experienced, responsive, and process claims promptly and professionally. Fire Districts of New York Mutual Insurance Company, Inc. (FDM), has maintained its AM Best “A-” rating with a stable outlook. AM Best is one of the most preeminent rating organizations in the insurance industry indicating that FDM has an excellent ability to meet its financial obligations. Fire Districts of New York Mutual is a traditional insurance company. Unlike a trust or pool there is no Joint and Several Liability or risk of assessments due to financial shortfalls. The premium you pay for a policy year is final (subject to payroll audit) and will never be adjusted due to claims activity or a funding shortfall.

First, we’ve built a solid financial base on which our policyholders can rely. Our reserves and investment strategies are designed to assure that we can always meet our obligations. Second – and of equal importance – we strive to build solid relationships with those whom we work: our policyholders; our agents; our employees; and the community in which we live and conduct business. This has given us a direct and personal understanding of the needs and goals of our business partners.
