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

Phone Dispatch at +1-866-475-2701Emergency Fire Board Up Stories From Tuckahoe, NY
Called at 1:30 a.m. right after the fire department left. The crew had every window covered and a tarp on the roof before sunrise. It rained the next afternoon.
The plywood was bolted from inside, which saved the frames. Small thing, but it saved us money later.
Our rental was vacant after the fire and people were already poking around. Fencing and a lockable door ended that.
Questions About Emergency Fire Board Up in Tuckahoe, NY
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?
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 the crew how they will attach the boards.
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?
Boards can stay in place for weeks or months while the claim and repairs move forward. Inspect tarps after heavy wind or rain.
