Fire risk management is a critical aspect of church and ministry stewardship, especially in fire-prone areas like California. The conversation with Charlie Cutler, President at ChurchWest, unpacks common fire hazards unique to ministry settings, outlines essential prevention strategies, and highlights the necessity of adequate insurance coverage—including building valuation, time element coverage, and compliance with evolving codes. By drawing on decades of experience, practical steps are offered for both prevention and effective response, encouraging churches to be both proactive and properly protected.
