Insurer to Offer Innovative, Environmentally Friendly Coverage; Five Percent Discount Given to Green Homeowners NOVATO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, the nation's first provider of green insurance, has introduced green insurance for homeowners in Maryland. Setting a new standard, Fireman's Fund (www.firemansfund.com/green) is offering this innovative product to homeowners who currently own green homes or who want to upgrade their residences with green features after a loss using environmental safety and efficiency standards.

"We believe this is a trend-setting insurance solution for homeowners who are interested in the many benefits of 'going green' at home," said Donald Soss, vice president of Fireman's Fund Personal Insurance. Homeowners whose residences are already green will be offered a five percent discount on this coverage, applied to the homeowner premium.
