Explained in plain English

Who pays for fire damage?

When homes are damaged by fires like those in Stourbridge, the cost of repairs and rebuilding is typically covered by home insurance. This financial protection is crucial for homeowners, as the damage can be extensive. Insurance also helps cover temporary accommodation if residents are evacuated and can't return home immediately.
