Adjuster Capacity for Canada’s Wildfires

Tuesday, June 13th, 2023 Property

Firefighters and other first responders have been stretched thin while battling an unprecedented wildfire season in Canada, and such may be the case for claims adjuster capacity as well.

Across the industry, it’s a mixed bag of how quickly adjusters across Canada have been able to respond to the fires, which is expected to be declared a Cat, suggested one adjuster expert.

Across Canada, more than 43,000 square kilometres have burned so far this year -- 15 times the average amount normally burned by the second week of June. This makes 2023 the second-worst year for wildfires on record, according to Canadian Press.
