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. 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.
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.

Round-the-Clock Local Dispatch

Securing a Fire-Damaged Property
Securing a property goes beyond plywood on windows.
Window and Door Board-Up
Openings are sealed with plywood or OSB, attached in a way that spares the frames. A lockable access door can be installed.
Roof Tarping and Battening
Roof holes are tarped and battened down so wind and rain cannot get under them.
Wall Breach Cover
Exterior wall openings get temporary framing and sheathing.
Temporary Fencing and Site Security
For badly damaged properties, temporary fencing keeps people out and limits liability.
Water Pump-Out and Utility Safety
Standing firefighting water can be pumped out, and the crew can confirm utilities are off at the right points.

Phone Dispatch at +1-866-475-2701Emergency Fire Board Up Stories From Gering, NE
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.
They bolted the plywood from inside, so the window frames were not wrecked. 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?
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?
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?
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. 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.
