The Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association says the Black Forest Fire has produced about 3,630 claims and is expected to cost insurers about $292.8 million.

“Wildfire continues to exact a tragic and financial toll on our state,” says Carole Walker, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association, in a statement. “But insurance catastrophe adjusters have been on the ground since the first evacuation notice, and the industry is prepared over the long-term to help impacted residents recover and communities rebuild.”

Last week Walker told PC360 losses would exceed $100 million.
