What Does a Fire Watch Officer Do?
If you are a property owner and your building does not have an operational smoke alarm or water-based fire protection system, you are required by law to maintain fire watch security until your fire protection systems are operational. If you fail to hire fire watch security, you are likely to face fines or a total shutdown of your building.
The job of a fire watch security guard is to survey your property for fire hazards. They will physically check buildings and other property, typically when the probability of a fire-related incident is high. They are trained to serve as a provisional fire protection system in lieu of a permanent one.
Your property is likely in need of fire watch services if:
- Your fire alarm system is malfunctioning or yet to be installed
- Your fire sprinklers are malfunctioning
- You’re experiencing a power loss
- There is a water supply shutdown
- There is a presence of toxic or flammable materials on the premises
