The Flames Are Gone, but the House Is Wide Open
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. Insurers generally expect reasonable steps to prevent further loss, and board-up is the standard first step.

Phone Dispatch at +1-866-475-2701What Los Alamos Callers Say About Emergency Fire Board Up
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.
Board-Up Questions
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. 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 how they plan to attach it.
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.
