Leading Fire Watch Security Services in San Francisco

A building or location that may present a fire hazard or be at risk of experiencing a fire is the focus of surveillance by a fire watch. A security officer who is in charge of maintaining the fire watch is responsible for conducting comprehensive and timely patrols over the entire area to guarantee that it has been thoroughly inspected for any fires or potential fire dangers (fire hazards). When there is a public event taking place or when an existing alarm system is not functioning properly, fire watches are utilized. Fire watches are typically carried out if hot work is being done at a location where a conveniently accessible water source is not present.

Fire watch guards, much like security guards, receive extensive training in a wide range of specialized areas. Techniques of patrol, which are essential to the upkeep of safety throughout a facility, constitute one of the most important aspects. In addition to training in patrols, these security guards also receive instruction in sophisticated first aid procedures and CPR. After all, prevention is always better than treatment.

Our fire watch services are adapted to the specifics of each job while still complying with industry standards and protocols. When Frontline Services security personnel have gained sufficient familiarity with the surrounding area, they will begin conducting routine patrols. The frequency of these rounds might range anywhere from once every 15 minutes to once every hour, depending on the area. They examine all of the emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and sources of ignition. Guards arrive with everything they require to properly inform others of a fire and evacuate the building in the event of an emergency. They will have access to the building as a whole and any items that are utilized to record data. Front Line Services fire watch guards will report the beginning and ending times of each round, problem areas, and conversations with DPS or local fire agencies.
