Knowledge is the foundation of every good financial decision.
Financial education is not a one-time event. It is an ongoing process that looks different at every stage of your life and career. Whether you are a new recruit figuring out where to start, an active firefighter navigating a major financial decision or a retired firefighter making sure what you have built lasts, the right information at the right time makes all the difference. Here is everything Firefighters First offers to help the Fire Family stay financially informed and prepared.
Learn at your own pace.
Explore flexible learning options, expert guidance, and personalized support to help you build confidence with your finances, on your schedule.
E-courses.
Access a comprehensive library of online financial education courses through our Everfi1 platform. Topics range from budgeting and saving to credit, investing and retirement planning. Courses are self-paced, free to access and available to all Fire Family members.
Free webinars.
Attend live and on-demand financial webinars from Be Balanced on topics relevant to firefighters and their families. From first-time homebuying to retirement planning and investment basics, our webinars bring expert guidance directly to you.
Financial counseling.
Sometimes you need more than information. You need a real conversation with someone who can look at your specific situation and help you make a plan. Financial counseling through Be Balanced helps you take control of your money and build a stronger financial foundation.
FINANCIAL CALCULATORS
Do the math before you decide.
Run the numbers before you make a decision. We offer calculators for auto loans, mortgages, retirement savings, home affordability and more. Quick, easy and built to help you plan with confidence rather than guessing.
youth financial education
Teaching the next generation.
How you manage money matters, and the habits children build early stay with them for life. Youth financial education is a program designed for the youngest members of the Fire Family. Tools and activities help parents and kids start the money conversation early and build a strong foundation together.
financial security
Stay one step ahead of fraud.
Knowing how to protect yourself is just as important as knowing how to grow your wealth. We help cover the most common scams targeting firefighters and their families, how to recognize fraud before it happens, what to do if your identity is compromised and how to keep your accounts and personal information safe
