Rental property casualty loss due to fire and capital gains

I own a rental property that had fire/smoke damage in 2021.  This was not a total loss on my property.  My insurance company provided payment for property repairs of $22,921.  I had to pay my deductible of $2642.  Does the fact that I had to pay a deductible qualify me for a casualty loss? If so how do I claim the loss.  I am planning on selling the property in 2022.  How do the insurance payments  factor (if at all) into the capital gains calculations?
