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. 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.

Real Board-Up Experiences
Called at 1:30 a.m. right after the fire department left. By sunrise, every window was covered and the roof was tarped. It rained the next afternoon.
The plywood was bolted from inside, which saved the frames. 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?
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. They work with lights and harnesses, though an unstable roof may need to wait for daylight.
How long can boards stay up?
Plywood can remain for the duration of repairs. Tarps should be checked after storms.
