A Farmers Customer Care Vehicle (CCV) has been deployed to help victims of the “Lockheed fire” burning near Bonny Doon, in an unincorporated part of Santa Cruz County, California.
The CCV is located in front of agent Michael Burns’ office at 6230 Highway 9 in Felton. Local claims adjusters are staffing the CCV to answer customers’ insurance questions and help them file claims.
“The CCV will stay open until 7 p.m. and remain here until the evacuation orders are lifted,” says district manager Hugh Seagreaves. “Right now, about 2,000 people have been evacuated, and we’re letting them know that Farmers is here to help. I’ve been to the two evacuation sites to make sure the people know that Farmers is here. We have signs and posters posted at each site, too.”

Farmers Catastrophe Corps’ Logistics team continues to monitor the Lockheed fire, which has burned 4,100 acres and is currently 5 percent contained. It’s burning about nine miles north of Santa Cruz, and eight miles from Felton, in a mountainous area of heavily wooded, rugged terrain. There aren’t many homes in the area, but the dry vegetation and brush offer plenty of fuel for the fire to spread.
If the fire grows, Logistics is prepared. The Mobile Claims Center bus (MCC) is on standby in Southern California, ready to deploy if needed. 19 claims representatives and one mid-loss adjuster are also available for deployment. Additional resources will be mobilized if needed.
