It seemed like there was more sirens than normal.
It started up around June 17th.
It lasted for quite a few weeks, which seemed like months.
My name is Larry Howell.
I've been an Allstate agent for approximately 22 years plus.
Hi is this Carol? Hope you are having a good week.
I'm Bob Gann.
I'm the fire chief of Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department, in Bellevue, Colorado.
It was a fire that we dreaded for all our years.
It was a major fire that burned eighty-nine thousand acres.
Ended up taking out about 250 homes.
So I think everybody was touched in some way by this fire.
My name is Russ Mounts.
I am a plumbing/piping contractor and I have been with Allstate two years.
My home is located in Bellevue, Colorado.
Elevation's about 7,500 feet. It's a beautiful mountain community.
It was a home that was built in 1975.
And we put in a tremendous amount of work in remodeling
So when the fire came through, it was quite a shock to us,
'cause we really didn't think it would happen to us.
The end result was catastrophic.
It was total and complete devastation.
Everything inside the house, outside the house, was gone.
Just total destruction.
The devastation that our customers had was actually
a tough thing for all of us, very devastating.
The one thing that has helped us immensely is Allstate.
So this is where we are going to put the new house, back where the other one was at.
We have been totally and completely
amazed at the support Allstate has provided with us instantaneously.
I mean before we could ever even figure out what was going' on,
they were there.
They were there with emotional support,
financial support any support we need.
They had my cell number.
They could call me anytime, day or night.
I don't consider Larry Howell an agent. I consider Larry Howell a friend.
Even prior to this catastrophe he was always calling on us, checking on us.
I'm Janet Smith and I work for Allstate National Catastrophe Team.
When people come to where their house used to be it creates a real sense of not just lost
but being lost and it helps to have someone kind of guide them through that process.
She asked me just a few questions.
And she was just unbelievably quick at getting
the process in place so we could begin rebuilding.
Allstate delivers. Allstate's an ally.
Their slogan is perfect.
You truly are in good hands with Allstate.
I can't make it any clearer.
What we're really looking for
to make sure that these people's lives are put back together.
And there's nothing better as an agent to know
you are taking care of your insureds.
We know we can always count on you.
I'm Larry Howell and I'm an Allstate Agent.
