Yes, standard house insurance policies in Canada generally cover property damage and structural loss caused by wildfires, as standard fire is listed as a primary insured peril. When a community is threatened or damaged by a wildfire, standard policies cover dwelling repairs, rebuilding costs, detached structures, replacement of melted personal belongings, and additional living expenses if you are forced to evacuate into a hotel. However, homeowners living in high-risk rural interface zones must carefully review their policy contracts, as some insurers enforce stricter underwriting criteria, higher deductibles, or mandatory brush-clearance maintenance rules.
