State commissioner: Insurance companies can’t drop customers in recent wildfire areas

FORESTHILL, Calif. — California temporarily banned insurance companies Thursday from dropping customers in areas affected by recent wildfires, a day after evacuation orders were lifted for residents near a 2-week-old blaze that’s become the largest in the state so far this year.

Sheriff’s officials in both counties announced Wednesday that they were lifting the last of the evacuation orders that during the fire’s height kept some 11,000 people out of their homes. Lara ordered insurance companies to preserve residential insurance for one year for Californians who live near one of several major wildfires that have burned across the state in recent weeks.
