Mark,
I can assure you that a firefighter who gets killed in the line of duty,notice I said "killed in the line of duty" recieves roughly $300k from the feds. Why some firefighters have not recieved it I don't know. Sometimes a community will work to provide additional funds in addition to what the feds provide.
I work closely with the SC Firefighers Association providing benefits through Colonial Life. They also have a life benefit through Provident as well for on job accident and life if their department so chooses.
While I believe your intentions are good, it's the approach that I'm not fond of. Are you helping them? Certainly. You would do well to also talk with them about disabililty as I mentioned earlier, when talking to them about life. Often times disability is a critical missing component of what they need.
