Insuranceopedia Explains Fire Insurance

The reason why many people decide to purchase fire insurance in addition to other forms of property insurance is because losses from a fire can be devastating. Fire insurance can provide a high degree of coverage for fire damage, and can cover fires with a wide range of causes. However, not every type of fire may be covered.
