What Firefighters Leave Behind at 2 A.M.
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.

Crews That Answer at Night

Working at night on a burned structure is risky. Ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.

What Sleepy Hollow Callers Say About Emergency Fire Board Up
Called at 1:30 a.m. right after the fire department left. The crew had every window covered and a tarp on the roof before sunrise. It rained the next afternoon.
The plywood was bolted from inside, which saved the frames. 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?
Firefighters often break windows and cut roof vents, leaving the property open to weather and intruders. Boarding up prevents more damage and break-ins.
Does insurance pay for emergency board-up?
Emergency board-up after a covered fire is normally reimbursed through the claim. Keep the invoice and photos.
How quickly can a board-up crew arrive?
Response depends on the time and 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?
Bolting through with strongbacks from inside keeps frames in good shape. Ask how they plan to attach it.
Can you tarp a roof at night?
Usually, if conditions are safe. Crews use lighting and fall protection, but they may wait for daylight if the roof is unstable.
How long can boards stay up?
Plywood can remain for the duration of repairs. Inspect tarps after heavy wind or rain.
