Yes, that is an issue for those who want fire insurance.

Our electric co-op has the policy to inspect to the sub-panel all new  
construction before they connect the service drop. I was happy to have  
Rocky, our lineman, check out my work when I rewired the house from  
the very minimal stuff installed when the REA came through in the  
forties or fifties.

I don't do fire insurance for many of the same reasons I don't do  
disease insurance.
