Jeff Hood, Fire Chief
Hall County Government Fire Services

Fire Recovery USA has been great to work with.  I started as the Fire Chief in Knoxville, Iowa in September of 2018, and right from the start the staff was great about answering question, providing feedback on where we could make effective changes.   The staff especially Noreen has been very helpful in rewriting contracts with local care centers and with Hospice.   The staff has gone above and beyond to assist us.

Cal Wyman, Fire Chief
Knoxville Fire Department

We have utilized Fire Recovery since June 2009. The decision to outsource our Fire/Rescue Billing for response to vehicle collisions and fires was the best decision we ever made. We would be overwhelmed without their assistance in this regard.

Steven Kerber, Fire Chief
Regional Fire & Rescue Department, Casa Grande, Arizona

Thanks Fire Recovery. I can’t express this enough – your company and your work have been exceptional. There was a Fire Department in Illinois who contacted us wanting information on your company. I couldn’t say enough great things about you.
