I bought my house here in Carson in 1996. Since then I have paid a premium for homeowners insurance because my house was not within the acceptable proximity to a fire station. Most insurance companies I checked with would not insure me because of this, regardless of price.

Last summer I received a letter from my insurance company of 16 years, I have always paid my premiums and never made a claim, they said they were not renewing my policy when it expired at the end of the year. They gave a few legitimate enough complaints about the brush and building materials around my house as well as a few other excuses that I didn't agree with. There was too much brush and stuff around my house, after my car accident a few years back I just wasn't keeping up as good as I should have been with yard work and some home improvement projects I was working on got put on hold.

Anyway I decided to clean up my act and call some other insurance companies that would not consider insuring me before. What is different now? We have the Carson Fire Department and a fire station going up right in the center of town, lol. Now I was able to get quotes from multiple insurance companies and I got a new homeowners policy
