Code compliant coverage real-time hazard response nonstop site protection

Fire watch security refers to the use of trained personnel to monitor buildings for fire hazards when fire protection systems (sprinklers or alarms) are down, not installed, or compromised. It is often required by law.

You may need fire watch services when:

• Your fire alarm or sprinkler system is offline
  
  
• Your property is under construction or renovation
  
  
• You're performing hot work (e.g., welding)
  
  
• You receive a fire code violation
  
  
• Your fire marshal or insurer mandates it

Rates typically range from $25 to $40 per hour, depending on shift length, risk level, and site complexity. Emergency or overnight deployments may carry premium rates. Contact us for a custom quote.
