Fire Insurance in the Foothills: The Coloma Lotus Fire Safe Council is pleased to host Insurance Broker Rachel Williams, who will share timely information on Fire Insurance this evening. Rachel Williams, with 30-plus years of experience as a Farmers Insurance agent, will focus her presentation on current changes in the insurance industry, how carriers are pricing or considering fire risk in high fire districts, and the various discounts that may be available to help with pricing as well as the cost evaluator tools used to determine replacement cost. Our speaker will also touch on the difference between using admitted and non-admitted companies, and items to consider prior to inspection. Ms. Williams is a 35-year insurance industry expert. She has owned multiple agencies and represented several direct carriers. Rachel and her husband Michael are owners of RM Williams Insurance, A Farmers Agency, located in Roseville, California. She has been spending the majority of her time educating customers and affiliate businesses on the risks of fire; how to make the best coverage selections, which carriers to consider and options for fire insurance when they are non-renewed.
