Protecting Your Property When Your Systems Are Down.
A malfunctioning fire alarm, a broken sprinkler system, or a water main shutdown isn't just a safety hazard—it's a legal liability. In most jurisdictions, if your fire life-safety systems are compromised, your building must be evacuated or placed under a professional Fire Watch.
Stealth Watch Security provides certified Fire Watch guards who are specifically trained to identify early signs of fire, manage hazardous conditions, and ensure your property stays compliant with local Fire Marshal requirements. We offer 24/7 rapid deployment to ensure your business remains open and your occupants remain safe.
According to NFPA and OSHA regulations, a Fire Watch is mandatory whenever a required fire protection system is out of service for more than four hours in a 24-hour period. This includes:
Malfunctioning smoke detectors, pull stations, or control panels.
Scheduled shutdowns for sprinkler system upgrades or water main repairs.
When electrical failure disables your building’s detection systems.
Construction areas involving welding, soldering, or cutting that pose an increased fire risk.
When a local authority deems your property at high risk and mandates a physical watch.
Our Fire Watch guards do more than just stand by; they follow a rigorous, documented protocol designed to meet the strictest legal standards.
Our guards conduct regular, systematic rounds of your entire facility, specifically looking for smoke, heat, or any ignition sources. We pay close attention to high-risk areas like mechanical rooms, kitchens, and storage areas.
Documentation is critical for legal compliance. Our guards maintain a State-Mandated Fire Watch Log, recording every patrol, every observation, and the exact time of each check. This log is available for inspection by the Fire Marshal at any time.
If a fire is detected, our guards are trained to act instantly. They are responsible for alerting the fire department, initiating evacuation procedures, and ensuring all occupants are safely moved to assembly points.
During their patrols, our team verifies that fire extinguishers are pressurized, exit signs are illuminated, and all fire lanes and emergency exits remain unobstructed.
From rapid dispatch to code-savvy officers, we help you stay open, documented, and inspection-ready.
We understand that fire watch needs are often emergencies. We can have certified guards on-site in hours, preventing you from facing "stop-work" orders or forced evacuations.
Our guards are educated on NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) and local fire codes, ensuring they know exactly what inspectors are looking for.
Avoid the massive fines associated with fire code violations. We provide a professional, affordable solution that keeps your doors open.
Whether it’s a holiday, weekend, or the middle of the night, our command center is ready to dispatch Fire Watch personnel whenever your systems fail.
