FIRE WATCH FAQ'S

In short, a fire watch security guard is a provisional arrangement in which a person or patrol physically checks buildings and/or other property for extreme fire hazard situations. Fire Watches are normally conducted when the probabilities of a fire-related incident are high. For example, anytime that ‘hot work’ construction processes are taking place on-site (common ‘hot work’ processes are welding, soldering, flame-cutting, riveting, and brazing). Another typical ‘high-probability’ example would be in the case of malfunctioning alarm and/or sprinkler systems.
The duties of fire watch security guards may vary between jobs and location sites, but there are basic tasks that come with each position. In the course of their duties, our trained personnel, (who are familiarized with the layout), will check all exits and fire extinguishers. They will have on their person, the materials necessary to execute a fast evacuation and to notify any other occupants in the event of a fire. In most cases, Direct Guard’s personnel would also carry a portable horn, a flashlight, a full all-access set of keys to the premises, writing materials, and a copy of their specific duties. All of our security guards are routinely monitored by our supervisors and the 24/7 Dispatch Team. Security Guards’ activities are monitored daily through our real-time, guard tracking system, Direct Track.
Whether in 15-minute increments or on the hour, patrol rounds are conducted regularly and a log is kept recording each round through Direct Track, our real-time guard tracking system. Accepted entries include the address of the facility, start and end times for the round, names of the fire watch patrol, and entries for any communication that occurred between the hired personnel and either the fire department or the Department of Public Safety. Personnel should also wear (at all times) a visible form of identification (such as a vest or hat). In many cases, Direct Guard’s security guards may work in concert with municipal or volunteer fire departments.
The marching orders for a given Fire Watch team may vary from site to site. Most personnel are given clear instruction not to extinguish a fire unless it is safe for them to do so, (or unless they have been expressly instructed or given permission to do so). In general, security guards should not attempt any tasks that could not be completed safely by the average citizen.
Now that you know what fire watch services are, (whether you are a commercial real estate owner, a property manager, business owner, or any other type of potential customer) if you’re still asking yourself whether or not you need fire watch services, chances are you probably do.
As we have said, fire watch services are typically needed when a building either has a fire alarm that is down or a malfunctioning sprinkler system. We talked a little about ‘hot work’ as well, but other reasons might include a burglar alarm or an access control system that is malfunctioning, or in response to power outages related to a natural disaster. In most cases a call your local Fire Marshall will be able to let you know if you need a fire watch.

We are committed to giving you peace of mind since we provide top-quality fire watch services and security guards who have been properly trained and screened.
