How Much Life Insurance Does Firefighter Get? 
The question as phrased sounds like you 're asking `` How much life insurance is automatically given to firefighters when employed as such by a city or county ' ... If that 's what you 're asking , I do n't know that any insurance is automatically given to them anywhere . In most cases there will be a Group Life Insurance program offered to firefighters wherever they are employed , and that will typically have an upper limit . Also in most cases the firefighter will have to pay the premium them self . Some city and counties may pay for a certain amount of insurance . Firefighting may be considered a hazardous vocation and may therefore require slightly higher premiums . That said a firefighter may purchase as much life insurance as they qualify for , -LRB- based on health and age -RRB- , want and can afford .
