Fresh home insurance warnings over bonfires

Fri, 02 Nov 2007

Yet another home insurance company has spoken out about the potential dangers of uncontrolled fires and dangerous fireworks on November 5th.

Post Office, which provides an extensive range of financial services and home insurance products to its customer base, has become the latest in a long line of firms to discuss the fiery menace posed by Guy Fawkes celebrations.

Homeowners have been urged to ensure their parties go with a bang but not up in smoke, with the potential for fires to quickly become unstable - potentially leading to disastrous consequences.

The home insurance company notes that all those aiming to enjoy a bonfire at home should ensure their home insurance provider is a sparkler and not a damp squib, so they don't get hoisted by their own petard.

Phil Ashkuri, director of insurance at Post Office, commented: "Garden furniture in particular is one of the most common insurance claims so it's important to check your policy covers this."

Meanwhile, pet insurance provider PetPlan has warned that it is not just home insurance companies who look have more trepidation than celebration, with many furry friends at risk of a bigger fright than Halloween had in store.
