The Flames Are Gone, but the House Is Wide Open
To fight a fire, crews break windows to vent heat and smoke, force doors, and often cut holes in the roof. It saves the house, but it leaves the property exposed to weather, wildlife and trespassers. A vacant, burned house is a target for theft and vandalism within hours.
Board-up crews cover openings with plywood or OSB, often bolted through from inside with strongbacks to protect the frames. Roof cuts get tarped and battened. Most insurance policies require you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, and board-up is usually the first one.

I called around 1:30 a.m., right after the trucks pulled out. By sunrise, every window was covered and the roof was tarped. It rained the next afternoon.
They bolted the plywood from inside, so the window frames were not wrecked. Small thing, but it saved us money later.
Our rental was vacant after the fire and people were already poking around. Fencing and a lockable door ended that.
Board-Up Questions
Why do I need a board-up after the fire department leaves?
Fire crews vent the structure by breaking windows and cutting the roof, which leaves it exposed. Board-up protects against further damage and theft.
Does insurance pay for emergency board-up?
Most homeowners policies cover reasonable emergency measures to prevent further damage after a covered fire. Keep the invoice and photos.
How quickly can a board-up crew arrive?
Arrival time depends on the hour and your location, but independent crews in the network are set up for same-night response. Dispatch can give you an estimate on the call.
Will a board-up damage my window frames?
Good crews fasten plywood with carriage bolts and strongbacks from the inside to protect frames. Ask how they plan to attach it.
Can you tarp a roof at night?
Often, yes, if it is safe. They work with lights and harnesses, though an unstable roof may need to wait for daylight.
How long can boards stay up?
Boards can stay in place for weeks or months while the claim and repairs move forward. Inspect tarps after heavy wind or rain.
