Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara says insurers will have to offer policies in high-risk areas.

Insurance companies have stopped writing new policies in California because of wildfire losses.

The new rule is part of Lara 's effort to persuade insurers to continue doing business in the state.

Wildfires have always been part of life in California , but as the climate has gotten hotter and dryer, it has made those fires much larger.
