FIRE WATCH
SERVICES FOR OUTAGES

Ensuring Safety, Compliance, and Continuous Protection During
System Failures and Maintenance Downtime

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) mandate the deployment of fire watch guards in structures and at work sites if fire protection equipment is non-functional. They may be non-functional due to power outages, water outages, or other factors.

Should your facility’s sprinklers or fire alarms have a failure beyond four hours, the fire marshal may mandate an evacuation or shutdown. Your current employees cannot be designated to fire watch duty; only trained specialists are qualified to do this task. This underscores the importance of fire watch services for outages.

Engage Ranger Security Agency to ensure your facility is secure, compliant, and functional with our proficient fire watch security personnel. Call us to get started!

HOW OUR EXPERT FIRE WATCH SERVICES SAFEGUARD YOUR PROPERTY DURING OUTAGES

Comprehensive Fire Monitoring, Risk Mitigation, and Rapid Emergency Response to Protect Lives and Assets

The fire protection measures in your building generally minimize the risk of fire. In the event of system failure, your facility lacks an automatic mechanism for on-site fire detection and suppression. The situation is even worse if your area is at risk of wildfire, your structure has old insulation or wiring, or if on-site activities such as welding are conducted. Fire watch security personnel substitute for integrated safety systems by monitoring the work site and notifying authorities upon detecting fire hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Fire Watch Services

What is a fire watch and why and when is it important?
A fire watch is mandated when the sprinkler system, fire alarm, or any other fire system is inoperative due to an outage or several other factors. Fire watch personnel conduct regular patrols of your property to identify fire threats and notify authorities when necessary. Fire watch personnel function as human smoke detectors.
How fast can you deploy fire watch personnel?
Typically, the fire watch crew will be at your location within 2 to 4 hours. Requests are processed sequentially based on their order of receipt.
How long will the fire watch guards be at my facility?
The length of fire watch is contingent upon the particular conditions and safety protocols. The period may range from a few hours to a few days or more, depending upon the length of the fire protection system outage, the existing fire risk, or the time frame of the construction activity or event.
Can fire watch guards perform other responsibilities?
Fire watch security personnel must maintain vigilance on fire protection and emergency preparedness. However, during patrols, they may help in reporting suspicious activity or managing access control; nevertheless, their primary concentration will be on monitoring fire hazards.
How many fire watch officers do I need?

The required total number of fire watch officers is contingent upon some factors, including:

  • Size of the Facility – Larger areas require more coverage. 
  • Level of Fire Risk – High-risk zones need additional personnel. 
  • Local Fire Code Requirements – Compliance may dictate the number of guards. 

Duration of the Outage – Longer outages may require shift rotations.
