Wildfire Insurance in Oregon
Protecting Your Home in Oregon's High-Risk Fire Zones
Oregon's Wildfire Insurance Crisis — And What You Can Do
Oregon is experiencing a wildfire insurance crisis. Major carriers are canceling or non-renewing homeowners policies across Central Oregon, the Rogue Valley, and other high-risk areas. If you've received a cancellation notice — or are worried you might — you're not alone.
As an independent insurance agency working with 50+ carriers since 1935, Insure Pacific has access to specialty markets and programs that can cover homes in Oregon's highest-risk wildfire zones. We know which carriers are still writing policies, what they require, and how to position your home for the best possible coverage and rate.
Whether you're in Bend, Sisters, La Pine, Ashland, or anywhere else in Oregon's Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), we can help you find coverage that protects your most valuable asset.
What Wildfire Insurance Covers
- Dwelling structure damage from fire

- Personal property destroyed in fire

- Extended replacement cost coverage
Coverage availability varies by carrier and location. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
Key Coverage Components
A comprehensive wildfire insurance policy should include these critical protections. Make sure your current policy has adequate limits for each.
Dwelling Coverage
Covers the cost to rebuild your home if destroyed or damaged by wildfire, including attached structures like garages.
Personal Property
Replaces furniture, clothing, electronics, and other belongings destroyed in a wildfire. Replacement cost vs. actual cash value matters.
Additional Living Expenses
Pays for hotel stays, meals, and other costs when you're displaced from your home during repairs or rebuilding after a wildfire.
Extended Replacement Cost
Critical in Oregon where post-fire construction costs surge. Extended replacement cost pays above your policy limit if rebuilding costs exceed expectations.
Debris Removal
Wildfire debris removal is expensive and often not fully covered by standard policies. Ensure your policy includes adequate debris removal coverage.
Outbuildings & Fences
Covers barns, sheds, fences, and other structures on your property. Especially important for rural Oregon properties with multiple outbuildings.
Policy Canceled? We Can Help.

Oregon's Wildfire Risk Landscape
Highest-Risk Areas
- Central Oregon: Bend, Sisters, La Pine, Sunriver — ponderosa pine forests and dry conditions create extreme risk
- Southern Oregon: Ashland, Medford, Grants Pass — Rogue Valley communities face annual fire threats
- Eastern Oregon: Sagebrush and grassland fires move fast and unpredictably
- Coastal Range: Increasing risk as drought conditions spread westward
How to Improve Insurability
- Install a Class A fire-rated roof (metal, tile, or composition)
- Create and maintain 100-foot defensible space
- Install ember-resistant vents and screens
- Replace wood siding with fire-resistant materials
- Enclose decks and eaves with non-combustible materials
