Fire insurance covers your primary housing structure and personal possessions within the home. This protection includes other buildings upon your property, such as detached garages and guest homes. In addition, fire insurance compensates policyholders for relocation expenses while the home site is being rebuilt.

Insurance application forms help you to take stock over the value of your home and personal belongings. You should also use video to record the premises and help process claims. Store the video documentation away from your home, so that it is not also lost in fire.
