Wildfire Claims

Helping Albertans recover after wildfires, smoke damage, evacuation orders and insurance disputes

Wildfires have become one of the most significant property loss events facing Albertans. Recent wildfire seasons have affected communities across the province, damaging homes, businesses, farms, and recreational properties, while also causing widespread smoke contamination and mandatory evacuation orders.

Most people expect their insurance coverage to help them rebuild after a wildfire. Unfortunately, that's not always what happens. Claims can quickly become stressful when payments are delayed, losses are undervalued, or coverage is denied.

The growing impact of wildfires in Alberta

A wildfire loss often involves much more than fire damage.

Even when a home, business, farm, or acreage property remains standing, wildfire-related losses can include:

• Smoke contamination
• Ash infiltration
• Water damage from firefighting efforts
• Temporary displacement
• Additional living expenses
• Business interruption losses
• Damage to personal property and contents
• Agricultural and acreage losses

In some cases, the most significant losses occur after the fire has passed. Smoke contamination, loss of use, evacuation orders, and ongoing business disruption can all result in substantial insurance claims.
