The Bulletin reports that British insurance giant Lloyd's of London is offering the state another year of coverage despite three consecutive years of expensive, drought-fueled wildfires. The policy could protect the state from financial problems if 2016 is another expensive year for firefighting. State fire officials on Tuesday recommended that Oregon continue purchasing the insurance. The policy would also be available to private landowners. Oregon fire officials and landowners would share the $3.5 million premium and up to $50 million deductible before Lloyd's contributes up to $25 million. The premium is down $300,000 from last year. — Associated Press Information from: The Bulletin, http://www.bendbulletin.com , http://bit.ly/1RONnQB MailTribune.com Writer Posted Apr. 6, 2016 at 11:39 AM » Comment or view comments   Reader Reaction »  STAY INFORMED   Email NewsLetter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
