Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Fire Watch Service?
Fire prevention systems are required by law. When these systems age or suffer damage, assets may be left unprotected. This could result in complex liabilities for system operators. A set of trained human eyes is 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 work in shifts for 24/7 coverage, patrolling sensitive areas and alerting authorities if fire risks are detected.
What Do Fire Watch Guards Do?
Fire watch guards identify potential fire threats and address them before they present a danger to key assets. Clients give us specific instructions based on the needs of each job site, and our fire watch professionals leverage their experience and training to improve overall safety outcomes. We also provide critical oversight for “hot work” that presents an inherent fire risk. An extra set of trained eyes ensures fire departments are contacted the moment a fire risk emerges.
Contact us if you require a fire watch expert to:
- Oversee “hot work” such as welding, torching, or cutting in a high risk area
- Perform checks on fire safety systems such as alarms and sprinklers
- Identify hazards onsite 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 area
When Are Fire Watch Guards Required by Law?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) may require fire watch guards on site if your facility’s fire systems are not up to code. Outages must be reported to the fire department, fire watch personnel deployed, and irregularities fixed as soon as possible. Facility owners and operators may face complex liabilities if fire watch is not deployed.
Guards are obliged to report any anomalies to the fire department to ensure the safety of everyone on site, as well as the wider community. Fire watch professionals should only be dismissed after municipal fire authorities have inspected the premises.
What Can I Expect from the Fire Marshal?
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.
You could face fines or shutdowns for violating minimum safety standards. Before enforcing these measures, the fire marshal may issue warnings depending on your region and the severity of noncompliance.
Exceeding safety standards protects employees, assets, and profitability. Hiring a fire watch guard will help prevent fines and create a safe workplace for everyone involved. Contact us for more information about our fire watch services.
What Happens When My Fire Detection System Fails?
If your fire detection or suppression system has shown any evidence of malfunction, contact National Firewatch immediately for fire watch guard coverage. Failure to deploy fire watch may result in fines or complex liability issues, not to mention loss of key assets from fire.
Even if everything is functional today, we strongly encourage you to partner with a reliable fire watch service in Seattle 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 fire watch service.
The Best Fire Watch Solutions for Georgia
Fire codes require every building to have fire detection and suppression systems in place. When those systems malfunction for any reason, fire watch guards are required on-site to act as trained sets of eyes – notifying authorities if a fire risk is detected. Guards are also needed if “Hot Work” such as welding or torching is being conducted at a job site that lacks the specific fire safety systems needed for those tasks. Failure to deploy trained fire watch guards in these instances could result in fines, forced evacuations, complex liabilities, or fire damage.
It’s essential for every organization in Georgia to develop a comprehensive risk management strategy that includes a reliable fire watch partner. Despite their critical function, many organizations in Georgia do not have access to a reliable fire watch service provider, and may not know when fire watch guards are required. To keep your facility running smoothly, it is highly recommended that you partner with a reliable fire watch company before guards are needed on-site.
