The threat of wildfires has grown every year, ripping through forests, scarring hillsides and destroying whole communities.
And Allstate Insurance, the fourth largest carrier in California, just confirmed it stopped issuing new homeowner policies last year. Allstate also blamed wildfires and higher costs, saying, "The cost to insure new home customers in California is far higher than the price they would pay for policies."Now, sources tell 7 On Your Side, Farmers Insurance is also putting a pause on new policies.
