When you need fire watch
A dedicated set of eyes when fire protection is at risk
Fire watch means a trained person whose job is to patrol your property, look for fire risks and raise the alarm immediately if something is wrong. It is commonly needed when a fire alarm or sprinkler system is out of service, during hot work such as welding or roofing, or on construction sites where fire protection is not yet in place.
If your insurer, property manager or the local fire department has asked for fire watch, we can usually have a guard on site quickly. Our guards follow a set patrol route, check the areas you specify, and keep a log of every round.
Our personnel are trained in hazard identification and risk assessment, emergency response procedures and First Aid and CPR, so they know what to look for and what to do if something happens.
- Follows the fire watch requirements you have been given
- Short assignments or ongoing coverage
- Combine with construction or warehouse security
