What is Fire Insurance
Fire insurance is like having a financial firefighter who shows up with cash instead of water! It’s comprehensive protection covering buildings, machinery, stock, and contents against fire and its allied perils – that’s insurance-speak for fire’s troublemaking friends like lightning, explosions, riots, storms, floods, earthquakes, and even missile testing operations (yes, that’s actually covered!).
Whether you’re running a textile mill in Surat or a retail store in Mumbai, fire insurance ensures that when flames strike, your business rises from the ashes financially intact. It covers not just actual fire, but 12 named perils that could torch your property and profits!
Why Is This Policy Vital for Business Owners?
Because One Match Can Delete Your Life’s Work!
India witnesses over 25,000 fire incidents annually causing ₹2,000+ crore in property losses. A single factory fire can destroy ₹5-50 crore in assets within hours. Fire insurance is the difference between “temporary closure for repairs” and “permanent shutdown notice.” It’s survival insurance for Indian businesses!​ .Who Needs Fire Insurance?

FAQ's
What exactly are "allied perils" in fire insurance?
Allied perils are fire's troublemaking friends: lightning, explosion, riots, storms, floods, earthquakes, aircraft damage, and 5 more named perils. Total 12 perils covered!
Is electrical short circuit damage covered?
Only if short circuit causes fire! Pure electrical machine damage without fire isn't covered- needs separate machinery breakdown insurance!
Can I insure rented property under fire insurance?
Yes! Tenants insure contents; landlords insure buildings. Both need separate policies - fire doesn't care who owns what!
Are stock and inventory automatically covered?
Only if specifically declared! Declare accurate stock values - under-insurance means proportionate claim reductions!
Is business interruption loss covered in standard fire policy?
No! Standard policy covers property damage only. Business interruption needs separate "Consequential Loss" add-on coverage!
What's the first 5% deductible in Act of God claims?
 For natural calamities (lightning, floods, earthquakes), first 5% of claim amount (minimum ₹10,000) isn't covered - you pay this portion!​
Customers Says..​
"Massive electrical fire destroyed our Surat textile factory worth ₹8 crore. CoverBizz's fire insurance covered building repairs, machinery replacement, and ₹2 crore stock loss. The surveyor visited within 48 hours- claim settled in 6 weeks. Without this, our 20-year-old business would have shut permanently!"
Mr. Ramesh Patel (Patel Textiles, Surat)
"When Patna floods damaged our warehouse causing ₹30 lakh losses, Fire insurance with STFI cover saved us."
