About Us

In 1950, General Insurance Agency wrote its very first emergency services policy for the Ogontz Fire Company in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. Decades later, our agency has grown to protect more than 400 emergency service organizations across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, and the Ogontz Fire Company is still a client today.

We understand the unique demands facing today’s first responders. From tight municipal budgets to evolving operational risks, we know how critical reliable coverage is to keeping your station running and your community safe. While protecting your vehicles and facilities is essential, your members and their families always come first. That is why we partner with specialized insurance carriers to build comprehensive coverage tailored specifically to the realities of emergency response.

Our team brings firsthand emergency service experience to the table, giving us an insider’s perspective on what your department actually faces. We are available 24/7 to answer questions, guide you through claims, and ensure your team has the coverage it needs so you can focus on answering the call.

Thank you for your service to our communities. We are proud to stand behind the people who protect us all. – Your Team at GIA

Testimonials

Kevin Kleinsmith is an amazing agent. He really understands the needs of the Fire Company and provides us with the info we need to get the right coverage for our non-profit. He is incredibly responsive and has saved me with a quick answer or ID Card on too many occasions to count. We used to be insured by someone I could barely get on the phone and what a relief (no pun intended) that now I am able to get answers quickly and easily. I love this company and my only regret is not getting them to insure us sooner. Thank you General Insurance Agency and McNeil and Company for helping out a volunteer association get what they need in such a collaborative and partnering way. Thank you Kevin for always being our lifeline.
