When purchasing a fire insurance for your home or business, you can purchase a BASIC FIRE insurance or Fire insurance WITH ADDITIONAL COVERS.

Basic Fire insurance covers only the damage due to a normal cause of fire. For example – electric shortage, self-ignition, fire due to an internal accident etc. Basic fire insurance may not cover damages such as follows;

What does a basic Fire Insurance not cover?

  • Damage due to natural perils – flood, storms, tornados, landslides etc.
  • Burglary
  • Damage or fire due to riots and civil commotions
  • Damage or fire due to terrorist attacks
  • Air craft crash damage

Therefore, if you need additional covers as mentioned above, you should inform the insurance provider to add those covers to your insurance policy.

Adding additional covers may not increase the premium by a significant amount, therefore it is wiser to add all required covers to your fire insurance.
