Oregon Wildfire Insurance
Oregon's wildfire insurance specialists — helping homeowners in high-risk fire zones find coverage, navigate non-renewals, and protect what matters most.
Oregon's wildfire insurance market has changed dramatically in recent years. Carriers that once routinely wrote homeowners policies in Central Oregon, Southern Oregon, and the Coast Range are now non-renewing thousands of policies annually — leaving homeowners in high-risk fire zones scrambling for coverage.
Insure Pacific has navigated Oregon's insurance market since 1935. We specialize in placing coverage for homeowners in wildfire-prone communities — from Bend and Sisters to Ashland and the Oregon Coast — working with admitted carriers, surplus lines markets, and specialty wildfire insurers that most agencies don't access.
Whether you've received a non-renewal notice, are struggling to find coverage in a high-risk ZIP code, or simply want to make sure your current policy is adequate, our wildfire insurance specialists are here to help.
Oregon's Wildfire Insurance Crisis — And What You Can Do
Oregon has experienced a dramatic tightening of its homeowners insurance market over the past five years. Major carriers have restricted new business or non-renewed existing policies in high-risk wildfire zones across the state. The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS) reports that non-renewal rates in wildfire-prone ZIP codes have increased significantly year over year.
The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) maintains wildfire risk maps that classify properties from Low to Extreme risk. Properties in High, Very High, and Extreme risk zones face the greatest challenges finding and keeping affordable coverage. ZIP codes in Deschutes County (97702, 97739), Crook County (97754), and parts of Southern Oregon are among the most affected.
The Oregon FAIR Plan — the state's insurer of last resort — has seen its policy count grow substantially as homeowners lose access to the standard market. While the FAIR Plan provides basic fire coverage, it is more expensive and less comprehensive than standard homeowners policies, and it should be viewed as a temporary bridge rather than a permanent solution.
Oregon's Wildfire Prepared Home certification program offers a path forward. Homeowners who complete defensible space work and home hardening improvements — and obtain third-party certification — are finding that some carriers will write or retain their policies. Insure Pacific guides clients through this process and uses the resulting documentation to negotiate with insurers on your behalf.
What Oregon Wildfire Insurance Covers
A comprehensive wildfire policy protects your home, belongings, and living expenses — here's what to look for in your coverage.
Dwelling Coverage
Pays to rebuild or repair your home's structure after wildfire damage, including attached structures like garages and decks.
Extended Replacement Cost
Covers rebuilding costs that exceed your policy limit — critical in Oregon where post-fire construction costs can surge 30–50% above pre-fire estimates.
Personal Property
Replaces furniture, clothing, electronics, and belongings destroyed by wildfire or smoke damage inside and outside your home.
Additional Living Expense (ALE)
Pays for hotel, rental housing, meals, and other costs while your home is uninhabitable after a wildfire — often for 12–24 months.
Smoke & Ash Damage
Covers cleanup, remediation, and replacement of items damaged by smoke and ash — even if flames never reached your property.
Debris Removal
Covers the cost of removing burned debris from your property after a wildfire — often a six-figure expense not included in basic policies.
