USAA Policyholders Can Receive Discounts for Living in Firewise Community

The California Department of Insurance announced that USAA policyholders living in recognized Firewise Communities/USA® sites in California will receive discounts on their homeowners insurance premiums. USAA, which provides a full range of financial products and services to the military community and their families, has been working with the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Wildland Fire Operations Division for several years to investigate the possibility of providing incentives for residents of wildfire-prone areas to take steps to create safer, more fire-adapted communities. NFPA’s Firewise Communities/USA® Recognition Program provided the community action framework and local data that enabled USAA to offer this new discount to policyholders. 

Fountaingrove II is a recognized Firewise Community one of only two in Sonoma County. It is our hope that other insurers will follow USAA’s lead. For more information on Firewise: http://www.firewise.org
