What is Fire Insurance?
Fire Insurance is the type of insurance which provides coverage for loss or damage caused by fire to your property. It can be bought as a part of property insurance or even as standalone insurance. As the estimation from fire loss is unpredictable, the policy will be issued with a fixed compensation. The insured will receive the amount agreed upon the time of claim during a fire accident. Even home owners can take a fire insurance to protect the structure of their homes. It also covers the cost of replacing items in the house such as AC, television, and other electronic gadgets.
