In order to file a wildfire claim, you’ll need proof of all damages to your property, insurance policies and correspondence, receipts for repairs and expenses, medical records, and official fire reports. Which documents you’ll need depend on whether you’re filing an insurance claim or taking legal action against the responsible parties. It’s important to keep a record of your losses so you can get compensated.
