Wildfire Damage-Minimizing Services

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Intact Financial Corporation Debuts Wildfire Defense Systems

— May 21, 2024 — World
Intact Financial Corporation has introduced a new service, Wildfire Defense Systems that aims to minimize wildfire damage for homeowners in Alberta and British Columbia. This initiative is the first of its kind in Canada, providing enhanced wildfire prevention and suppression services to personal property customers of Intact Insurance, belairdirect, and Intact Prestige at no extra cost.

The Wildfire Defense Systems activates when a wildfire is within 5 kilometers of a customer's property, offering preventive measures such as removing flammable materials, covering vents, and setting up temporary sprinklers. After the threat has passed, the service returns to ensure the property remains safe and restores any temporary measures taken.

This service comes as a response to the severe wildfire seasons experienced recently, particularly in Alberta and British Columbia. It aims to offer additional protection and reassurance to homeowners during the wildfire season.
