Upcoming Meeting
Schedule:
Public
Adjuster may NOT be your best option A
public adjuster, for a percentage fee up to 33% of your insurance claim,
works for you, not the insurance company. A public adjuster is licensed
and regulated by your state. Although a public adjuster will offer to save you
the frustration of completing the seemingly endless paperwork required by
your adjuster, you still must be 100% involved in the process because only
you know your loss. The public adjuster may offer to give you the “inside
dope” of the insurance claims settlement process. With the Internet and
advocacy groups available, all information you will need to settle your
claim is available for free. http://www.carehelp.org/downloads/handouts/Handout12-PublicAdjusterMayNOTbeYourBestChoice.pdf

A mailed
county notice appearing to bill victims of the 2007 fires for as much as
$85,000 in debris cleanup costs has raised a firestorm of protest among
property owners already strapped with rebuilding
costs. http://mountain-news.com/articles/2009/05/08/news/news1.txt

______________________________________________________________________________________________ Crews
ignored orders during Freeway Complex
fire Despite countless hours of practice and planning
by the Orange County Fire Authority for a fire racing through three
east-west canyons and directly into Yorba Linda, firefighters disregarded
orders and off-duty crews commandeered fire engines in the midst of last
November's devastating Freeway Complex fire, driving engines into the
firefight without telling superiors what they were doing or where they
were going. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/fire-water-engines-2374126-homes-linda
