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. 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.
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.

Questions About Emergency Fire Board Up in Mount Zion, IL
Why do I need a board-up after the fire department leaves?

Will a board-up damage my window frames?

Often, yes, if it is safe. Crews use lighting and fall protection, but they may wait for daylight if the roof is unstable.
