Merrill Firefighters Local 847

Today the State Senate passed legislation to expand worker’s compensation PTSD coverage to include all emergency medical service professionals!!
In 2021 Wisconsin Act 29 provided PTSD coverage to career firefighters, which has been a lifeline for some of our members. Action today will align worker’s compensation coverage for stand-alone EMS professionals with career firefighters. Access to comprehensive PTSD benefits ensures our members can recover fully and remain ready to serve.
We thank the senate for the strong bipartisan support and we look forward to Governor Evers signing the bill into law!
