Crestbrook Insurance Co., an affluent market personal lines carrier, has launched Crestbrook Wildfire Solution Program in collaboration with Wildfire Defense Systems (WDS), an insurance wildfire loss prevention and response company.

The Wildfire Solutions program offers Crestbrook’s homeowners policyholders access to a risk mitigation and suppression at no additional cost. Registered policyholders in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, Oregon and Washington are automatically covered in the 2015 program.

During a wildfire incident, professional firefighters and dedicated fire engines from WDS will respond to the policyholder residence on behalf of Crestbrook with available resources and appropriate services in the area. Defense measures WDS may provide include:

• Gel application and rehydrating
• Sprinkler deployment

According to Dan Cuccia, risk solutions executive for Crestbrook Insurance, “taking action to prepare clients’ homes to withstand wildfires is critical.”
