What is Fire Watch? 

Business owners may be required to deploy a fire watch by the Fire Marshal and local Law Enforcement. A fire watch is defined as one or more persons who are assigned to physically patrol a building or property to check for fire hazards. These specially deployed security guards may be required under a number of different circumstances including: 

• “Hot Work” such as welding or other open flame jobs 

• Frozen or damaged pipes

• Equipment failures including fire alarm and sprinkler systems 

• Pre-planned events such as inspections or regular maintenance 

• Water supply interruptions 

• Power outages 

Failure to comply with your local regulations regarding fire watch could result in fines or even business closures. The requirements vary among jurisdictions, so it is crucial that businesses work with fire watch security companies that have experience working in their areas. Guards are required to keep a log of each patrol round, to include information such as date and time of the patrol, name of the patrolling guard, status of the patrol and record of any incident, among other things. In an emergency, fire watch guards are trained to follow your business’s emergency protocols.
