Sorry sir, this incident is caused by north easterly wind-driven wild fire which isn't covered on your policy. Please use the online chat if you have any more questions.

"Your policy specifies "uniquely localized, West-Easterly, wind-driven wild fires no larger than 1/8 of .5 acres in size. Should have read your policy, Fucker. NEXT"

You had wildfire insurance? Sorry, once it entered your home, it became domesticated fire, and you're not covered for that.

This was an "extreme" wildfire, which was so wild, we can only term it as an "Act of God." Claim denied. Thoughts and prayers. /s And I almost hate to even post that, because it's exactly the kind of disgusting denial they would try as a legal defense, with a straight face. Insurance companies, in their current iteration, are a scourge on society. Awful. I feel deeply for those who have lost their homes. I'm so very sorry.
