Fire damage help
Emergency board-up and roof tarping
Secure the house the same day so weather and break-ins don't add damage.
After the fire is out, broken windows, open doors and holes in the roof leave the home exposed to rain, animals and theft. Most insurance policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage.

Who pays for board-up after a fire?
Board-up and tarping are usually treated as emergency mitigation under a homeowner's policy, but coverage depends on your policy. Keep every receipt and photo, and tell your insurer what was done.
How fast can a house be boarded up?
Board-up crews often come the same day. Ask the restoration company for photos before and after so your records are complete.
