    These are variation of terms for the same thing. Homeowners insurance was first called fire insurance. The term fire insurance is still used today but in the industry is more often refereed to rental properties. Other terms are HO3 or HO5 which are types of coverage's for homeowners insurance. So whether homeowners, hazard or fire insurance, you are using generic variations of the same thing.

    Homeowner’s is the most common form of hazard insurance.  Hazard insurance covers property damage caused by fire, wind, storms, and other similar risks. Sometimes earthquakes and floods are also covered, however usually they are not.  The term hazard insurance appears often in communications with a title insurance company.
