California ordered home insurers to maintain coverage during the next year for 750,000 customers in four counties ravaged by wildfires that are still burning east of Los Angeles.

The moratorium blocks insurers from canceling or not renewing policies in areas affected by the Line, Airport and Bridge fires, the California Department of Insurance said Thursday. The protection covers policyholders regardless of whether their homes burned down.
