Smoke drifts through a forest with charred trees, creating a hazy atmosphere. The ground is darkened, and the scene suggests a recent fire with lingering smoke among the silhouettes of the tree trunks.

Founder & CEO Pat Blandford Featured on FOX Business 

January 16, 2025

Pat Blandford, Founder and CEO of Property Guardian and Green Shield Risk Solutions, was recently featured on FOX Business, discussing the urgent challenges facing the insurance industry in the wake of the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.

On Varney & Co., Blandford explained to host Stuart Varney why these wildfires shouldn’t have come as a surprise — and why the industry must shift from simply reacting to actively preventing losses.

Watch the full clip below to learn why we believe it’s time to embrace mitigation, smarter risk strategies, and proactive solutions to protect communities and ensure long-term insurability.
