Can my insurance company cancel my home insurance if I can’t get insurance from another company?
I live in a rural area 8 miles away from the nearest fire department. My home is heated with a gas heating stove. I have a detached garage and some old outbuildings. I only want insurance on the house and garage. The company cancelled because of what they listed as other structures.

Unfortunately, your home insurance company can refuse to renew your insurance for your home given issues that it has with other structures on your property and can refuse to renew your policy even if you cannot get insurance from another insurance carrier.
I would call your insurance agent to see what can be done to keep your insurance policy on your property continuous and to discuss the reasons why your policy may be cancelled or not renewed so that you can possibly do something to keep it in effect. The last thing that you want is an interruption in your policy. I would also consult with an insurance broker to get various quotes for insuring your property.
