Chubb Personal Insurance home policyholders, whose houses are threatened by a wildfire, can have their properties sprayed with a fire-protecting gel for free, the company announced.

Mark Schussel, a spokesman for the Warren, N.J.-based Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, said that in order to get the service, policyholders must first enroll, “because we need authorization to come on your property.” There is no cost to sign up, he noted.

To provide the protection in advance of this year's fire season, the company said, it has established “the nation's largest private wildfire protection network in 13 states.”
