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. That is the right call to save the house, but it leaves the structure open to rain, animals and anyone walking by. A vacant, burned house is a target for theft and vandalism within hours.
A board-up crew closes every opening with plywood or OSB, usually fastened from the inside with carriage bolts and strongbacks so the frames are not damaged. Roof cuts get tarped and battened. Insurers generally expect reasonable steps to prevent further loss, and board-up is the standard first step.

What Jerseyville 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.
They bolted the plywood from inside, so the window frames were not wrecked. Small thing, but it saved us money later.
People were snooping around our vacant rental the morning after. Fencing and a lockable door ended that.
Emergency Fire Board Up FAQ
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. 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?
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?
Bolting through with strongbacks from inside keeps frames in good shape. Ask the crew how they will attach the boards.
Can you tarp a roof at night?
Usually, if conditions are 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.
