Fire damage refers to the damage or destruction of goods and property caused by fire. Financially, fire damage is often covered by fire insurance.

Fire damage can lead to numerous legal questions of responsibility and liability. Fire damage is extremely costly. For example, residential fires cause approximately $51 million worth of damage every year in Alberta, Canada.[1] Fires destroy an average of 300km2 of forest annually in Greece.[2]

Fire protection is the prevention and reduction of the hazards associated with fires. Fireproofing refers to the act of making materials or structures more resistant to fire.

Protect yourself best by having fire insurance, and in case of fire damage, one needs to find a reliable fire and water restoration specialist.
