The Best Fire Watch Solutions for California

Rising fire risks in the Golden State have increased public awareness of fire watch and the critical role guards play in keeping normal operations running smoothly. Regardless of weather or wildfires, guards are always required when a facility’s fire safety system is down for more than four hours

Fire watch is also needed when “Hot Work” such as cutting, welding, or torching is conducted at a job site that lacks dedicated safety systems. Without trained personnel on-site, facility operators could face forced evacuations, extended shutdowns, complex liabilities, and damage.

As part of a comprehensive risk management strategy, every organization in California is strongly encouraged by the NFPA to partner with a reliable fire watch service before guards are needed on-site. This way, personnel will be on hand in case of an emergency, and facility owners can avoid costly shutdowns. National Firewatch is the most reliable fire watch service in California, deploying guards in hours to assist with:

  • Fire risk assessments for organizations not yet partnered with a fire watch service
  • Coverage for fire safety systems that are obsolete, damaged, or nonfunctional 
  • “Hot Work” that requires additional safety measures 
  • Large public gatherings and private events 
  • Open-air construction sites
