What is Dwelling Fire Insurance?

Dwelling Fire Insurance is a contract between you and your Insurance Company. It can provide coverage for your Home (Primary or Secondary) as well as for other dwellings that you may rent to others. Typically, Dwelling Fire Insurance only covers the actual structure against covered losses. In exchange for your premium payment, your Insurance Company agrees to pay losses as defined in your policy.
