It's always important to check your specific policy for details, but generally fire damage is indeed a standard part of many condo insurance policies. This typically applies to both the interior structure and personal belongings within the unit, depending on the policy's specifics.
At Daisy Property Management, this is an issue we frequently explain. We always emphasize that board members should encourage residents to have a thorough understanding of what their insurance does and does not cover. It's also crucial for the building's Master Policy or HOA policy to clearly outline what areas are covered in the event of a fire - typically these policies cover common areas and the exterior structure.
Condominium insurance can sometimes seem complicated, and each policy is different, but understanding what is covered can provide some peace of mind. It's always advisable to have a trusted insurance agent explain all the details for a comprehensive understanding.
