PSOB

[RFD123]

The other day on Firehouse.Com, there was an article that indicated that the PSOB was increased to $250K for a LODD. Does anyone know if this applies to volunteers? Thanks.

Yes.

They do use a stricter definition of LODD than the fire service generally does...i.e. while being trapped in a burning building or collapse certainly qualifies, many of the heart attacks the fire service counts as LODD, such as passing away while on duty but sleeping overnight, don't qualify under PSOB.
