Skip to the contentFire Watch is legally required when any of the following life-safety systems are fully or partially not functioning:
Florida Fire Prevention Code (FFPC) states If any of the above life-safety hazards occur and cannot be corrected within 4 hours, a building owner or their representative is required to either evacuate the building or provide an adequate Fire Watch until the hazard is repaired.
Fire Watch Security Officers have the responsibility of notifying the Fire Department in the event of a fire-related emergency. Officers are tasked with fire prevention duties, extinguishing small fires, notifying and assisting occupants with evacuation, as well as, protecting life and property in accordance with their state-regulated training.
It is the responsibility of the owner, or their representative, to contact the Fire Marshal’s office once the fire protection systems are repaired or the hazard has been mitigated. The Fire Inspector must confirm that all systems requiring Fire Watch are fully operational, before the service may be terminated.
