There has been some confusion when it comes to fire watch service. This technique often goes under-appreciated. But the fact is, this service is the simplest way to ensure the safety of life, property, and assets.
So, what circumstances would you need to hire a fire watch service
When the fire alarm or fire sprinkler system is down
When any part of your fire alarm system is inoperative, either due to being replaced or repaired, a fire watch service is typically required until the system is up and running again.
Water supply is shutdown or power loss
If your water supply is down, then your fire sprinkler system won’t work, leading you need a fire watch service. Further adding to the problem, if the electricity is now working a professional is necessary until the power and water are fully restored.
If flammable or toxic materials are present
When flammable or toxic materials are present, the chance of a fire increase dramatically. A professionally trained fire guard can reduce the threat and damage.
Hot work
Hot work involves welding, burning, or operations that can ignite an explosion or fire. According to the NFPA, when this type of work is being performed a fire watch service is mandatory.
During demolition or construction of a building
There are numerous fire hazards during the demolition or construction of a business. Often times a fire watch service is required by local and state government.
