Wiki Says
Fireman's Fund Insurance Company is a Novato, California-based
insurance company owned by Allianz SE of Germany. It was founded June
18, 1863, and issued its first policy to Walter Hawxhurst covering one
half interest in 1,000 kegs of Boston syrup for a premium of $12. Its
name is derived from an early business arrangement to pay 10 percent of
profits to widows and orphans of firefighters. It was acquired by
American Express in 1978, but became independent again in 1985, and was
purchased by Allianz in 1991. In 2006, the company had 4,100 employees
and assets of more than $12.2 billion.
Fireman's Fund has had a long history providing coverage and paying
claims for some of the most catastrophic events in American history,
including the Great Chicago Fire, the San Francisco Earthquake, and
Hurricane Katrina. It was one of the very first car insurance
providers, and issued the world's first airplane insurance policy.
Today, it insures a number of diverse operations such as agribusiness
and feature film production.
