The Capital Region VFBL Group offers high quality protection
at a low cost.

The Capital Region VFBL Group, underwritten by the Public Employer Risk Management Association (PERMA) and in partnership with the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC), is the highest quality solution available to volunteer fire districts that want to lower the cost of their VFBL insurance without compromising coverage, benefits or services.

We help keep your volunteers healthy and safe through group sponsored injury prevention education and training, while providing quality care for those volunteer firefighters that suffer "line of duty" injuries.

Your volunteers will not be burdened by unnecessary administrative or treatment delays. This not only will improve your injured volunteers' recovery experience, but also will lower the cost of those injuries, which leads to discounts for the price of your VFBL insurance.

Make the VFBL purchase that contributes the most to your local community.

The Capital Region VFBL Group contributes more to the local economy than any other provider of VFBL in the state. PERMA, named in 2006 as one of the Capital Region’s “Best Places to Work” by the Capital District Business Review, employs more than sixty local professionals in its Latham office. NYSAC, the plan’s sponsor in partnership with PERMA, is headquartered in downtown Albany and for over eighty years has been a long-time supporter of Capital District businesses and local governments.

These organizations and their employees are grateful to your department’s volunteers for protecting the community in which they live and work. The employees serving the Capital Region VFBL Group are proud of this program and its local roots. Providing the fire districts of the Capital District with a high quality, lower costing VFBL protection is our way of giving back to the local volunteer firefighting community.
