Answer 3

I would say no. Not unless your property is involed or damaged by the fire, there should be no punishment to you because there is a fire in your area!

Answer 4

Well I believe it depends on the company and how bad the company was hit with claims to determine if there is going to be a rate increase for homeowners due to the fire. Now, if you do not submit a cliam your rates wont go up as bad as if you did submit a cliam also depending on how much was paid out due to the fire will determine how much of an increase it will be.

Answer 5

I belive no. the reasons for increasing the rate should always be at inception, not when claim occurs.

Answer 6

Hi Richard,

Many fire prone areas in the west have caused huge losses for insurers and those losses are of course being passed on to customers.

In Northern California we are experiencing a triple whammy. Increased requirements for Volunteer firefighters is causing a reduction in manpower and a number of stations have lost ISO status (ISO 9/10). Some CDF stations are only seasonal. To an insurance underwriter that station does not exist. What happens if a fire occurs because of Christmas lights and the station is closed for the winter?

Much of rural northern California exists in "SHIA" zones.Special Hazardous Interface Areas (Brush). Insurance costs more in these areas. The maps show on google over addresses. California's largest insurer sent a memo out in 2010 explaining they no longer will write coverage for high ISO areas. The second largest insurer followed.

A  Cottonwood Client of California's largest insurer saw his homeowner's insurance go up from $700 per year to $2,800 per year because the local volunteer firestation lost it's rating.

During the 2012 Ponderosa fire one company was suddenly calling to review every policy in Shingletown for original application "errors" or "fraud" for possible cancelation in the fires path.( Some people bought on-line claiming they have fire-hydrants out front , ect)

As a Realtor, for E&O purposes, make sure your clients know they will be paying more  for insurance,  and they should consider  the cost of 200 feet of "fire safe" landscape around any rural property to obtain the best rates.
