SC Wildfires: How to navigate insurance claims and rebuild after the blaze

The recent wildfires have left thousands of acres scorched, with recovery efforts ongoing. While damage to homes was minimal, homeowners are reviewing their insurance policies for adequate coverage, as standard home insurance typically includes wildfire damage. Residents are advised to prioritize safety, secure temporary housing, start claims promptly, and follow local burning laws, since yard debris burning is a major cause of wildfires. An emergency plan and inventory of household items are also recommended.
