NEW: Woman says her parents’ fire insurance got cancelled shortly before the fires ripped through Southern California.

The woman said she is forced to defend the house herself.

“They got canceled from their fire insurance… They're 90 years old, they've lived in this house for 75 years and they've had the same insurance.”

“And these insurance people decided to cancel their fire [insurance] and we're going through this and it just happened. And they have no fire insurance.”

“So thank you, California insurance companies.”
