What might be a consequence of breaking windows after a fire has been extinguished?

Breaking windows after a fire has been extinguished can lead to an increased workload for those performing salvage operations. When windows are broken, the opening contributes to further damage from elements such as rain, wind, and debris entering the structure. This can complicate the recovery and salvage efforts as additional steps are needed to secure the area and protect remaining property from further exposure and deterioration. Salvage operations are focused on minimizing loss, and having to address the damage caused by broken windows can slow down and increase the complexity of the overall recovery process.
