You need to hire a Fire Watch Guard. Whether you need their services because your fire alarm or sprinkler system is not working properly, the power is out, or construction is taking place, who you hire should be experienced, trustworthy, and dependable.
Be Careful When Hiring a Fire Watch Service
State and Local Regulations
It is important all the local and state rules are understood and followed by the service. Each jurisdiction has their own set of rules and standards, staying compliant vital to ensure you don’t get hit with costly fines.
Required Licensing
Just about any security agency can say they can provide a fire watch service. But are they properly licensed, have extensive training, appropriate equipment, and experience? Don’t just hire the any service, do a little homework and make sure they go above and beyond.
Insurance Coverage
It is equally important the Fire Watch company you choose is properly insured, as well as properly staffed. You definitely don’t want a gap in coverage.
Liability
If you are thinking about using your own staff instead of a fire watch service, don’t forget about the liability. The last thing you want is a bunch of attorneys looking to hold you liable. Because the fire watch is not usually covered in many insurance policies held by management companies. If a fire were to break out, the liability would be absorbed by the property management company. Hiring a professional fire watch service can significantly reduce this liability, because you will be protected from the fire watch service’s insurance policy.
