What is Fire Insurance?

Fire insurance is intended to provide coverage for your home, other structures on your property including garages, sheds, fences, and furniture as well as personal property including: cash, collectibles, furniture, jewelry, computers and any other items you own. The coverage usually includes either replacement or compensation for loss of use. Loss of use covers ancillary expenses if you are displaced by fire including necessary hotel stays, replacement clothing, laundry services, necessary meals out, pet boarding and other living expenses you incur during a time when you can not stay in your home while it’s being repaired or rebuilt.

Fire insurance is crucial to your financial safety and security because it covers damage and loss of your property caused by accidental fires. Fire insurance is typically included in high quality homeowners insurance policies with a stated limit on how much money the insurance company will pay you for any damages in a case where a fire is the cause of your hardship. Keep in mind, it is your responsibility to read your insurance policy to make sure it does cover fire damage, or to acquire supplemental fire protection insurance if your homeowners policy excludes it.

Two things that aren’t covered under a homeowners insurance policy usually are arson or a fire in a vacant home. Arson by someone else is a crime and often falls under another part of your insurance policy, intentional arson by a homeowner is insurance fraud and results in serious criminal penalties as well as the insurance policies being voided immediately. If a home is vacant at the time of the fire, that may also void the coverage, unless your policy specifically includes absentee residents. Vacant is usually defined as unoccupied for more than 30 consecutive days prior to the fire.
