If Mitigation Reduces Wildfire Losses, Insurance Should Recognize It
California’s insurance crisis is often framed around pricing, availability and the growing pressure on the FAIR Plan. Those questions matter. But they miss a more fundamental issue: whether the insurance system is recognizing the actions that can actually reduce wildfire losses before they happen.

Expanding Access to Precision Wildfire Intelligence: FortressFire’s Aerial Risk Reports Now Available in 12 States
Wildfire is no longer a seasonal or state-specific challenge. From the desert edges of Arizona to the forested slopes of Washington, risk patterns are shifting —wildfires have become even faster, more complex, and increasingly destructive. Yet most assessment tools still rely on broad hazard zones or generalized assumptions that rarely reflect how fire actually behaves at the structure level. FortressFire’s Aerial Risk Reports (ARRs) are now available across 12 wildfire-exposed states — expanding from California into Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. This expansion brings precision, physics-based wildfire science to regions where structure-level insight has been urgently needed but historically unavailable.
