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.
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.

What Knoxville Callers Say About Emergency Fire Board Up
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.
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.
Questions About Emergency Fire Board Up in Knoxville, TN
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. 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?
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. They work with lights and harnesses, though an unstable roof may need to wait for daylight.
How long can boards stay up?
Plywood can remain for the duration of repairs. Inspect tarps after heavy wind or rain.
