Enjoy Extra Peace of Mind With Fire Insurance

Fire insurance is a type of property insurance designed to supplement your standard homeowners insurance and cover damages and losses related to fire. Combining fire insurance with your home insurance provides additional coverage when it comes to the cost of rebuilding your home and replacing your personal belongings.

Rebuild your home and replace personal property after a fire
Reimburse living expenses while your home is uninhabitable
Extend your home insurance coverage limits with fire insurance

If your home is completely lost in a fire, your insurance company might reimburse your home's current market value. The replacement cost of the contents of the home is usually capped in relation to the home's overall value.

Know the Value of Your Possessions

It is important to know the specifics of your homeowners insurance before disaster strikes. Take into consideration the value of your home and possessions, how much coverage is on your policy, and the amount that will be paid in the event of a fire.

It's a good idea to take inventory of your personal belongings and document their worth. Doing this at the time you purchase home insurance and additional property coverage can help determine if the preset coverage limits are right for you – or if you need to extend your coverage limits.

For example, if you own luxury items like furs, gold, paintings, and jewelry, the coverage limits on your homeowners insurance may not be enough to fully cover their replacement cost. You will likely need to purchase additional coverage, and itemize these items and their value.

Save Money With Dwelling Fire Insurance

Homeowners insurance offers a broad range of protections for a property, but can be expensive if you have multiple properties you need to insure. If you are leasing homes, you should consider dwelling fire insurance to protect your property.

Dwelling fire insurance will cover all named perils, whereas homeowners will cover all perils but named exclusions. It is a specifically-tailored type of home insurance. These policies can be written for the actual cash value of the property or for replacement cost.

Does homeowners insurance cover fire?

Yes, your homeowners insurance covers fire. Generally, you insure your home at 50-70% of its value. Some homeowners will find that the coverage limits on their homeowners insurance are not enough to cover both the value of their home and its contents.
For example, you have an extensive home studio with costly audio equipment and rare or collector's musical instruments. A standard home insurance policy will not offer the coverage amount that you require to replace these items, but you have several options to extend your coverage.

Supplemental fire insurance policy
Personal umbrella insurance policy
Extended coverage amount on your homeowners policy
