Which endorsement typically extends coverage beyond fire, lightning, and internal explosion?

The extended coverage endorsement is designed to broaden the scope of a standard fire insurance policy. While the basic policy typically covers only fire, lightning, and internal explosion, the extended coverage endorsement expands these protections to include additional perils such as windstorm, hail, explosion (outside of internal), civil commotion, and other risks that may not be accounted for in the basic policy. This makes the endorsement an essential option for homeowners looking to safeguard their property from a wider array of potential threats.

In contrast, the standard coverage endorsement is likely to simply reiterate the primary coverages without extending them. The comprehensive coverage endorsement goes further than just adding coverages to a fire policy but encompasses a full range of protection, potentially including items that may not be directly related to fire. Meanwhile, the broad form endorsement would typically include more extensive coverage than the basic policy, but is not specifically designed to extend the protection of fire policies in the way that the extended coverage endorsement does.
