On-Site Guarding

Fire Watch Services

NFPA 101 compliant fire watch officers who protect your property when fire systems are impaired, during hot work operations, and whenever your fire marshal requires dedicated coverage. Fully licensed, fully documented.

Professional Fire Watch Capabilities

Trained officers who conduct systematic patrols, identify hazards, and maintain compliance documentation for every shift.

Fire Watch Patrols

Trained fire watch officers conduct systematic patrols of your property at NFPA-required intervals — typically every 30 minutes for hot work areas and every hour for impaired fire systems — logging each round and any hazards identified.

Fire System Impairment Coverage

When sprinklers, alarms, standpipes, or water supply systems are down for maintenance or repair, our officers maintain continuous watch to detect fire, report emergencies, and initiate evacuation if needed.

Hot Work Fire Watch

Dedicated fire watch positioned during welding, cutting, grinding, and other spark-producing activities. Officers remain on station for a minimum of 30 minutes after hot work is completed to monitor for smoldering fire.

Compliance Documentation

Detailed patrol logs, hazard reports, and incident records maintained for every shift. Documentation satisfies fire marshal inspections, insurance requirements, and AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) review.

Hazard Identification

Officers identify and report fire hazards including blocked exits, expired extinguishers, overloaded circuits, improper storage of flammables, and accumulation of combustible materials during every patrol.

Emergency Response & Evacuation

In the event of fire, officers alert occupants, initiate evacuation procedures, contact the fire department, and direct emergency responders to the scene — maintaining crowd control and accounting for personnel.
