Over 6000 Hours of Licensed Fire Watch Security Delivered Monthly.
Fire watch security is a temporary security measure that is used to protect a building or property from fire damage or injury while there is a fire hazard present. This can be due to a variety of reasons, such as a faulty electrical system, a construction project, or a planned demolition.
The responsibility for fire watch security usually falls on the owner or lessee of the property. However, in some cases, the responsibility may be transferred to a third party, such as a construction company or a demolition contractor.
The purpose of fire watch security is to prevent fires from occurring in the first place, and to detect any fires that do occur as quickly as possible. This can help to minimize the damage caused by the fire and to protect the lives of people and property.
A fire watch guard is responsible for patrolling the property, monitoring for signs of fire, and reporting any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities. They may also be responsible for operating fire extinguishers or other fire-fighting equipment.
Fire watch guards should receive training on fire safety procedures, including how to operate fire extinguishers, evacuate buildings, and provide first aid. They should also be familiar with the layout of the property and the location of fire hydrants and other emergency equipment.
Fire watch guards should be equipped with a flashlight, a whistle, a map of the property, and a first aid kit. They may also be required to wear reflective clothing and carry a fire extinguisher.
The duration of fire watch security will vary depending on the specific fire hazard. However, it is typically required for a minimum of 24 hours.
Fire watch guards should maintain a log of their activities, including the time, date, and location of their checks, as well as any observations or incidents they have witnessed. This log can be used to demonstrate that fire watch security was properly conducted.
