A Boulder County woman and business owner who lost her home in last fall's devastating Fourmile Fire is suing the insurance company that covers her organic mint and candy company for denying to insure her lost property on grounds that it wasn't listed at her business addresses.

Debra St. Claire -- who owns St. Claire's Organics Inc., which makes organic and vegan breath mints, herbal sweets, candies and lozenges -- said she obtained commercial business property insurance from Sentry Insurance in 2009, according to a lawsuit filed in Boulder District Court on Monday.
