Is a home fire covered by my insurance?
It depends on your policy. If it is covered, the insurance company will cover invoices up to your policy limit, and you are responsible for the deductible. Contact your agent to find out if this loss is covered.
Fires can break out in any home, often with little warning, and the results can be devastating. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), home fires are more common than we might think and can result in significant property damage, injury, or even death. Understanding how fires start in the home is the first step in preventing them. In this blog post, we’ll explore the most common causes of house fires, share prevention tips, and explain how simple safety measures can protect your home and loved ones.
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S., responsible for nearly half of all home fires. A fire in the kitchen can start quickly, often due to unattended cooking or accidental grease fires.
Grease fires occur when oil or fat overheats. These types of fires can spread rapidly and are dangerous to extinguish with water.
Unattended cooking is a major risk factor. When you leave cooking food on the stove or in the oven, it can quickly catch fire.
Consider using a stovetop fire prevention system that can automatically turn off the stove in the event of a fire.
Never leave cooking food unattended. Stay in the kitchen, especially when using high heat or frying.
Keep flammable items (such as towels, paper towels, or oven mitts) away from the stovetop.
Always have a lid or a fire extinguisher nearby to smother small grease fires. Never use water to put out a grease fire!
Install smoke detectors in or near the kitchen and test them regularly.
Space heaters, fireplaces, and other heating devices are another common cause of residential fires, especially during colder months.
How it Happens
Electrical fires are one of the most dangerous types of home fires. They can start without warning and can be particularly destructive if not addressed quickly.
How it Happens
Candles create a warm ambiance, but they are also a major fire hazard if left unattended or placed near flammable materials.
Children or pets knocking over candles is another risk, as they can cause the candle to fall onto a surface that catches fire.
Candles that are left burning while unattended, particularly in bedrooms or living rooms, can ignite nearby objects like curtains, papers, or furniture.
Find answers to common questions about our services
After emergency responders extinguish the fire and the scene is secure, your first two calls should be to your insurance company and a certified fire restoration provider, like PuroClean of Long Beach. Insurers require prompt reporting, and restoration professionals can begin mitigation immediately to prevent further loss. Quick action protects both safety and your ability to recover costs through your insurance policy.
Professional odor removal goes beyond surface cleaning. Techniques such as thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment chemically neutralize odor-causing molecules rather than masking them. These methods are selected based on the type of fire, the materials affected, and whether the property is occupied during restoration. Proper deodorization ensures odors do not return once the property is rebuilt.
Safety comes first. Do not re-enter the property until fire officials confirm it is safe to do so. Once cleared, a local, professional restoration company who will guide you through the process and assist in documentation for your insurance provider. Early steps such as securing the property, extracting water from firefighting efforts, and addressing soot damage help limit further loss and support your insurance claim.
In many cases, yes. Non-porous materials such as glass, metal, and stone often respond well to specialized cleaning. Porous items, including textiles, upholstery, and insulation, are more difficult and may need replacement. The sooner restoration begins, the better the chance of salvaging belongings, since soot and odor residues set deeper over time. Restoration professionals evaluate each item individually to determine whether cleaning or replacement is the best option.
The timeline varies significantly depending on the severity of the fire and the extent of damage. A contained fire in one room may take only a few days to clean and deodorize, while a larger structural fire that requires demolition, reconstruction, and content restoration can take several weeks or even months. The pace of restoration also depends on insurance approvals and the complexity of smoke or water damage.
