Wildfires cause billions of dollars in damages a year. In 2020, bushfires cost insurers more than $13 billion in the Western US alone. Outside of the potential loss of human life and financial costs, failure to prepare can cost your community its infrastructure and natural resources.
Wildfires are also concerning as a result of their sporadic nature. Last year, one of the largest forest fires came as a result of a gender reveal party gone awry. In other cases, lightning striking a dead tree has lead to mass destruction.
