Whether your Orlando, Tampa, Miami or Jacksonville building’s fire alarm system isn’t working, down for repairs, or you’re planning hot works projects coming up, you need to hire a fire watch guard. But where do you start?
There are many situations when a fire watch guard is required to ensure your building is protected and you are compliant with local and state fire safety regulations.
Fire watch regulations
To ensure you stay compliant with all fire watch guard requirements, swift action is definitely encouraged.
So as soon as your fire protection or sprinkler system is deemed inoperable, immediately notify the local fire department. Then the level of protection is determined, this may be the responsibility of the Fire Code Official, then the necessary actions need to be taken to secure public safety until the fire alarm system is restored.
