Does Insurance Cover Fire Damage?

What's typically covered and how the claim works.

Usually yes

Fire damage is generally covered by homeowners insurance, including smoke and soot damage and often temporary living expenses.

Many restoration companies document the loss and bill your insurer directly, so you're not fronting the full cost.

Save the fire report, photos, and receipts, and don't discard damaged items until the adjuster has reviewed them.
