Simple common sense measures, and being aware when it comes to cooking and smoking can prevent this type of situation.
Home insurance policies should certainly cover for fire damage to the buildings and the content. As a property owner you should ensure that you have a plan in action should a fire start. Smoke alarms save lives, and every floor should have one.
