From underwater to topping out UNITED FIRE GROUP EC What a difference 10 years makes. UFG employees sign the last steel I-beam before it's put into place in our new UFG on First location during our April 30, 2018, "topping out" ceremony. ere Ten years ago this week, Cedar Rapids, and UFG Insurance, faced a natural disaster unlike anything we'd seen before. During that flood, and in the years that followed, we proved that when things were at their worst, we were at our best. From an old house on First Avenue to our new corporate headquarters at UFG on First, we're continuing to thrive-and proud to call Cedar Rapids our home. ED UFG President and CEO Randy Ramlo and employees celebrate at the September 2008 welcome back ceremony in Greene Square after returning from our displaced location in Norway, lowa.
