WITH out-of-control wildfires across British Columbia forcing evacuations and destroying properties, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) is providing affected residents with key insurance information and recovery tips. Insurance coverage for wildfires:Home insurance policies cover damage caused by fire, even if the fire began on a neighbouring property, as long as the fire was not started intentionally by the policyholder. Most homeowner’s and tenant’s insurance policies cover any reasonable additional living expenses for a specified period of time. Ask your insurance representative about the amount of living expenses you’re entitled to claim pursuant to your policy. Affected residents can also visit IBC’s Wildfires & Insurance webpage to learn more about insurance and the various stages of the claims process.
