Firefighter Injury and Illness Reduction (FIIRE) The FIIRE Program is a safety initiative for employers of professional firefighters. The goal is to reduce incidence of firefighter occupational injuries and illnesses through proactive risk management and implementation of best practices according to RCW 51.04.170. L&I partnered with representatives from the Washington Fire Chiefs (WFC) and the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters (WSCFF) to develop the Firefighter Injury and Illness Reduction (FIIRE) Program. Fire Departments who participate in the FIIRE Program will receive a discount on their workers’ compensation insurance premiums for risk class 6904 and are eligible to apply for grant funding to purchase additional equipment and other gear to implement the best practices. Fire departments must engage for at least one year.
