Types of fire insurance coverage
If your building is damaged by fire, you should know that insurance covers two types of damage, which we have mentioned below. In addition, one of the most common questions about fire insurance is whether this insurance also covers bodily injury and death, which we must say is no! This insurance only covers the building and its property:
Fire damage caused by fire, lightning, and explosion: As is clear, this type of insurance coverage is related to fires caused by fire, lightning, and explosion. Of course, you should know that if this fire is caused by severe explosions such as a nuclear explosion, it would not be covered.
Additional damages of fire insurance: Like any other insurance, fire insurance also has extensions and additions that you can purchase and add to the main insurance policy. Although this type of insurance may increase your costs, it also covers some of the more uncommon risks.
