Securing a Burned Property Before Morning
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. Insurers generally expect reasonable steps to prevent further loss, and board-up is the standard first step.

Emergency Fire Board Up FAQ
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?
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. 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.
