When your fire alarm panel is down, your sprinkler system is offline for repair, or your annual fire system testing window pulls life safety equipment off line, the fire marshal requires a trained firewatch officer onsite. First Class Security dispatches NFPA compliant firewatch officers on the schedule the code requires, with documented patrol logs that hold up to inspection by your authority having jurisdiction.
Firewatch is not a job for an untrained officer. Our firewatch personnel are specifically trained on NFPA 1 and NFPA 101 requirements, equipped with patrol verification tools, and instructed to follow AHJ directives precisely. Patrol logs are time and location stamped, and delivered in a format your fire marshal will accept.

Firewatch Is About Compliance and Liability
The fire marshal does not care that your sprinkler company is almost done with the repair. They care that a trained set of eyes is in the building, walking the route, and logging it correctly. So does your insurance carrier.
Most property managers learn about firewatch the hard way. A fire panel goes into trouble at 4 p.m. on a Friday, the alarm company cannot make it back until Monday, and the fire marshal informs them the building is non compliant until firewatch coverage is in place. The clock is now running on fines, tenant evacuation, or both.
We are built for those calls. Our firewatch officers arrive with the right paperwork, the right training, and the right documentation. The logs we generate are ready for the authority having jurisdiction. The cost is a fraction of fines, insurance exposure, or evacuating a building.
Where Firewatch Coverage Gets Required
Any property with a fire alarm system, sprinkler system, or active construction can need firewatch coverage on short notice. These are the property types that call us most often.
