Introducing California Prescribed Burn Insurance by Conservation United

As California continues to face the growing challenges of wildfire management, prescribed burns have become an essential tool for landowners, fire practitioners, and environmental stewards. Controlled burns, when properly managed, reduce fuel loads, maintain healthy ecosystems, and protect communities from catastrophic wildfires. However, with this critical work comes the need for specialized insurance to cover the unique risks involved. That’s where Conservation United steps in, offering tailored California Prescribed Burn Insurance.

Understanding Prescribed Burn Insurance

Prescribed burn insurance is a specialized coverage designed to protect individuals and organizations engaged in controlled burn activities. These activities, while highly beneficial, involve inherent risks, including the possibility of fire escape, damage to neighboring properties, and liability for injury or damage. Conservation United’s California Prescribed Burn Insurance provides comprehensive coverage, ensuring that those involved in this vital work can carry out their activities with confidence and peace of mind.

What Does the Coverage Include?

Conservation United’s California Prescribed Burn Insurance offers a range of coverage options to meet the diverse needs of prescribed burn practitioners, including:

General Liability Coverage: Protects against claims of bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury resulting from prescribed burn activities. This is essential for any prescribed burn operation, ensuring that landowners and practitioners are not left financially vulnerable in the event of an accident or unintended consequences.

Escape Fire Liability: This critical coverage provides protection in the event that a prescribed burn escapes its intended boundaries, potentially causing damage to neighboring properties or public lands. With wildfire risks being high in California, this coverage is indispensable.

Defense Costs: Should a lawsuit arise from a prescribed burn activity, Conservation United’s policy covers legal defense costs, ensuring that practitioners can defend themselves without bearing the full financial burden.

Optional Equipment Coverage: Prescribed burn operations often involve the use of specialized equipment, from drip torches to ATVs. Optional equipment coverage can be added to protect these valuable assets from damage or loss.
