Rushing this step is exactly how a second injury happens on top of a fire loss.
This step runs parallel to hazard checks, not after them.
Timing this correctly avoids wasted effort if hazards force a delay.
This order is fixed — we don't reorder it to save time.

If something looks questionable, we call it in rather than guess.
Skipping this puts crews and anyone re-entering at unnecessary risk.
The longer this waits, the more materials end up needing full replacement instead of drying.
Materials are cut on-site to actually fit, not pre-sized and forced.
Tarps go over compromised roofing to stop rain from compounding fire damage.
Locks, signage, and if needed fencing close out the visit.

No return trips for equipment that should've been on the truck.
The scene gets walked tier by tier, with a price attached before anything beyond safety work begins.
Every tier gets closed out and confirmed before the visit is considered done.

Speed matters, but never at the cost of skipping the priority order.
