What is a Fire Watch and who needs one?

Insurance companies usually require a Fire Watch when there is a problem with a fire suppression system. This can be anything from a broken sprinkler head to a panel that needs replacing. When a system is down, it must be placed in “test” mode, which means it cannot call the fire department for you, which is where we come in. Our guards are trained to read panels, understand how fire suppression systems work, and observe for fires and call the fire department when necessary. We do not repair systems, but can make recommendations for a repair company if requested.

What We Provide

Our Fire Watch guards are trained to understand how the fire suppression systems work. They wear a yellow shirt or vest so they are easily seen and make rounds looking for problems. They are not functioning as a security guard. All of our guards are either firefighters or are supervised by one.

If you have questions about what a repair company is telling you, we are able to validate their assessment. We will also contact the city Fire Marshall’s office if necessary to expedite confirmation of repairs and strive to keep the Fire Watch to a minimum number of hours. We are familiar with the systems and understand how long a typical repair takes. Working with the repair company, we try to keep you informed of the status of the repairs or any concerns we have. We also keep detailed records should there be any disputes in the future. A manager who is a structural firefighter is available 24 hours a day for consultation.
