In recent years, flames have blazed across California like never before.

The devastating aftermath of the California wildfires has ignited the minds of insurance entities, scientists, and property owners to begin rewriting the rulebook for wildfire coverage in the insurance industry. California is rebuilding not only its communities but the way it approaches wildfire. Explore how it all began, the newest developments, and our glimpse into California’s future pertaining to wildfire.
