Common Questions
If you’re looking for these services for the first time, you may have some questions. Here are the answers to a few we often hear.Â
The law requires fire prevention systems. When these systems age or suffer damage, assets may be left unprotected. This scenario could result in complex liabilities for system operators. Trained human eyes are the best way to cover gaps and mitigate fire risk.
Fire watch guards are trained professionals who cover gaps in a facility’s fire detection systems. Our guards offer 24/7 coverage, patrolling sensitive areas and alerting authorities if fire risks are detected.
These professionals identify and address potential fire threats before they present a danger to key assets. Clients give us specific instructions based on the needs of each jobsite, and our fire watch professionals leverage their experience and training to improve overall safety outcomes. They know national, state and local fire safety regulations, enabling increased compliance with all applicable codes.Â
We also provide critical oversight for hot work with an inherent fire risk. An extra set of trained eyes can identify risks, enabling quick contact with fire departments.Â
Contact us if you require a fire watch expert to:
- Oversee hot work like torching, welding or cutting in a high-risk areaÂ
- Perform checks on fire safety systems such as alarms and sprinklers
- Identify hazards on-site that increase the risk of fire damage
- Patrol the premises during periods of heightened fire risk
- Cover any gaps in your facility’s fire detection system
- Coordinate with fire authorities in the areaÂ
Regulations from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and other state and local organizations require fire watch guards on-site if your facility’s fire systems are not up to code. Facilities must tell the fire department about any outages. Then, fire watch personnel must be deployed and irregularities fixed promptly. Facility owners and operators may face complex liabilities if they do not deploy fire watch.
Guards are obliged to report any anomalies to the fire department to ensure the safety of everyone on-site and in the wider community. Fire watch professionals should only be dismissed after municipal fire authorities have inspected the premises.
The duties and responsibilities of fire marshals vary slightly by region. Generally speaking, the marshall is the local authority for fire code enforcement, investigation and public education.
Violations of minimum safety standards could result in fines or shutdowns. Depending on your region and the severity of noncompliance, the fire marshal may issue warnings before enforcing these measures. Exceeding safety standards protects employees, assets and profitability.
If your detection or suppression system has shown any evidence of malfunction, contact National Firewatch immediately for coverage. Failure to deploy fire watch may result in fines, complex liability issues and the loss of key assets from fire.
Even if everything is functional today, you will benefit from partnering with a Florida fire watch provider before problems arise. Should outages occur, you’ll need to deploy guards within hours, and this can be difficult if you have no preexisting relationship with a reliable service.
These services can vary depending on factors like:
- Location
- Complexity of the task
- Number of guards needed
- Situations requiring immediate response
National Firewatch provides customized hourly quotes for each deployment. Our goal is to keep costs affordable while offering personalized protection tailored to the needs of your job site.
The Best Fire Watch Solutions for Florida
Your Florida facility must have built-in fire safety systems. When those systems malfunction for any reason, regulations require you to enlist the support of fire watch guards to act as trained sets of eyes — notifying relevant contacts and fire authorities in the event of a fire risk. In addition, hot work such as cutting, welding or torching needs guard supervision if that work happens at a jobsite that lacks the required fire safety systems for such activities.
Fire watch guards are an essential part of any risk management strategy. Despite their critical function, many Florida organizations do not have access to a service provider and may not know when to hire these guards. Fire marshals can shut down your operations, order evacuations and issue fines if fire watch security guards are not deployed appropriately. Maintain smooth operations by establishing a relationship with a fire watch provider now.
National Firewatch deploys guards within hours to most Florida locations — contact our team to source reliable fire watch services for your facility for various situations, like:
- Fire safety systems that are aging, damaged or nonfunctioning
