There needs to be a look at what is being done or not done in the area where the person lives, and then what has that person done to fire proof his/her property. It should be on a home by home situation. The insurance company should send someone out to check on each home before fire season starts to see what the homeowner has or has not done.

Reduced premiums or increased premiums would start to have an effect on fire proofing like you have done around your home. If enough homes get cancelled insurance policies due to a local or state green agendas, all hell would break loose and force changes in the druid pro fire agendas.

There is exactly such a proposal (albeit more detailed) here. Retired firefighters are perfect for the job.

Unfortunately, when policies are canceled, most people blame the insurer, not the green agenda. They just don't make the connection. Insurers have been hiding behind state regulation, just like everybody else.
