What does “firewatch near me” actually mean for buildings, not wildfires?
If you searched “firewatch near me” and saw wildfire maps, here’s the real definition for building owners:
A fire watch is a licensed service required when your fire alarm, sprinkler, or emergency communication system is not working.
We deploy trained guards to patrol your property and meet fire marshal compliance during these impairments. This is not wildfire lookout—this is required by building code and enforced by local fire departments.
When do I need firewatch at my building or site?
You may need immediate firewatch if:
-
Your fire alarm system is disabled or malfunctioning
-
Your sprinkler system is shut off or under repair
-
Your emergency communication system isn’t working
-
You received a notice from the fire marshal or code official
-
You’re doing construction or hot work (cutting/welding)
