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. Most insurance policies require you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, and board-up is usually the first one.

Get Connected: +1-866-475-2701Real Board-Up Experiences
I called around 1:30 a.m., right after the trucks pulled out. 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.
Questions About Emergency Fire Board Up in Altoona, IA
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?
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. 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. Tarps should be checked after storms.
