Anytime an individual purchases a new piece of property, one of the first orders of business is getting that property insured. For some types of property, insurance is required. For others, it is optional, but no less important. If you own a dispensary or a grow operation, it is absolutely imperative that you protect your property against the various perils that pose a threat to your operation. Property and Casualty (P&C) Insurance protects against common perils such as fire, lightning, explosion, implosion, aircraft damage, riots, strikes and terrorism. Your policy will not only cover the physical structure of your place of business, but also the contents inside, including office equipment, computers, inventory, and other items vital to your operation.
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – Another fire at a marijuana dispensary is under investigation. It is the second fire at a marijuana dispensary in the last few days. The latest happened early Monday morning at the Golden State Hempire Collective in east Bakersfield. Fire officials haven’t determined the cause but the owners believe the business was set on fire. Employees said someone set the back of the building on fire.
About two and a half miles away, a similar scene Friday morning. The Green Frog Health Center was set on fire by a stolen car that crashed into the building, burning four businesses and causing $250,000 of damage. Fire officials determined it was was arson.
