Many businesses in Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, and Atlanta, Georgia, don’t realize they need a Fire Watch Guard when their fire suppression system is down due to maintenance, not working properly, fire or “hot” work, and often times construction sites. Having a fire watch guard on site can prevent costly fines from the Fire Marshal.
Fire Watch Guard, What is it Exactly?
A trained guard is physically on the property, in the building, searching for any fire hazards. They are hired when the probability of a fire incident is high.
In times of construction, maintenance, or ‘hot work’ (brazing, riveting, flame cutting, soldering, or welding taking place) is being done. Also, when there is a malfunction in the sprinkler, alarm or fire system, or down for any reason.
