“It’s one of those things you don’t think about until you have to.”

Allstate spokesperson Kate Hollcraft made this statement about fire insurance after the wildfires in California. She said they have caused people all over the country to consider whether or not they are prepared for the natural disasters that could occur in their regions.

“I’m sure fire insurance is more top-of-mind for (people who live in desert areas),” Hollcraft said. “A wildfire is one thing, but if you are a renter, you have no idea if your neighbor left the coffeepot on that morning. You don’t want to look back and say, ‘Gosh, if only I’d had renters’ insurance.’ Everyone’s at risk, whether it’s a forest fire or human error.”

Hollcraft said most renters’ insurance costs about the same as one pizza delivery a month. Most homeowners’ insurance plans provide for fire damage. She recommends that buyers work with their agents to determine how much coverage they need.
