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.
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.

Real Board-Up Experiences
I called around 1:30 a.m., right after the trucks pulled out. By sunrise, every window was covered and the roof was tarped. 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.
Our rental was vacant after the fire and people were already poking around. Fencing and a lockable door ended that.
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. Board-up protects against further damage and theft.
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?
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.
