Articles - The true costs of LAs devastating wildfires


Martin Bühler, Swiss Re’s Head of Large Loss, discusses the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires — examining why they spread so quickly and caused such widespread destruction. From prolonged drought conditions to urban expansion and shifting wind patterns, we explore the key factors that turned a wildfire into a major disaster. His analysis also looks ahead: What can be done to reduce the risk of future wildfires? How can insurers, policymakers, and communities work together to build greater resilience? With insights grounded in real-world data and claims experience, Bühler sheds light on the growing challenges — and opportunities — in managing wildfire risk.
