Intact closes 75% of Kingston wildfire claims within a year, rebuilds 60+ homes

Intact Financial Corporation reports that 75% of insurance claims from last year's Kingston, Newfoundland and Labrador wildfire have been closed, nearly one year after the disaster. The wildfire burned approximately 10,708 hectares and destroyed over 60 homes among Intact customers. The insurer deployed more than 100 team members from across Canada to support the community. Intact received over 400 personal property claims and mobilised adjusters within 48 hours of evacuation orders lifting. On Side Restoration, Intact's wholly owned restoration company, has been rebuilding the destroyed homes. The integrated supply chain approach allowed Intact to coordinate assessment through final rebuild despite high demand for labour and materials. Tracy Laughlin, Senior Vice President of Claims at Intact, emphasised the company's commitment to building relationships with affected customers throughout the recovery process.
