New York State has developed a program for Fire Departments providing funds to help the members and their families who may become indigent, or in times of trouble, which is called the Two Percent Insurance Tax Law Program.  The Bedford Village Volunteer Firemen’s Benevolent Association, Inc. is officially chartered by the State of New York as an active benevolent association.  As such, we are governed by the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York {FASNY}, Blue Book. We exist for the sole purpose of the Good and Welfare of our Benevolent Fire Department members. Only Members and former members of the Bedford Village Volunteer Fire Department are eligible for membership, as provided by our charter, by-laws, and FASNY Blue Book.
