By their very nature, farms are particularly vulnerable to wildfires 🔥 with the first national fire disaster recorded in February 1869 when a fire demolished 480 kilometres of land between Humansdorp and Swellendam in the Western Cape. The devastation they bring goes beyond the farm and its livestock - entire communities and livelihoods can be affected.

We can help clients in agriculture choose the right short-term insurance and benefits to protect against unforeseen damage or losses due to fire.
