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

Call +1-866-475-2701 Right NowEmergency Fire Board Up Stories From Saline, MI
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.
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?
Firefighters often break windows and cut roof vents, leaving the property open to weather and intruders. Boarding up prevents more damage and break-ins.
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 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. Tarps should be checked after storms.
