FIRE INSURANCE

Sometimes the property insurance includes the fire insurance but it can be purchased separately too. The uncertainties related to fire are proportional to the cost of the policy which can be decreased by taking the precautions. The policy has to be read thoroughly because there are a few exclusions for which no security is provided by the insurance company. For example if the fire incident is due to any natural calamity then it is not included in the policy.

If you are planning for the fire insurance you need to contact the fire insurance office. You will get a form which should be filled by you only. You should be honest and provide the right information if you don’t want to lose anything. The information provided should be relevant and true.

A person called surveyor who is specially appointed for survey, will visit your place and inspect the whole building or property and figure out the uncertainties or degree of risks of fire. This will decide whether you can get the fire insurance or not. The insurer is the sole decider based upon the report of surveyor. If the insurer is satisfied, the proposal gets the consent and you get the fire insurance for your property. The rate of premium is fixed based upon the report along with the terms and conditions.
