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.
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.

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?
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?
Arrival time depends on the hour and your 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. 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.
