Understanding Fire Insurance A Complete Guide
Fire insurance is a type of property insurance designed to cover damage and losses caused by fire. It provides financial protection for both residential and commercial properties, compensating policyholders for damages to their building, contents, and sometimes additional living expenses if the property becomes uninhabitable due to fire. The coverage may include protection against fires caused by electrical issues, gas explosions, lightning strikes, or other fire-related events, depending on the policy.
Objectives of Fire insurance

- Asset Replacement: To provide funds for the repair or replacement of damaged structures, furniture, and personal belongings.
- Business Continuity: To help businesses recover from fire-related disruptions and continue operations by covering damages and losses.
