What Is Fire Watch Security?
Fire watch security is a legally required service when a building’s fire suppression or alarm systems are temporarily out of service — such as during construction, renovation, maintenance, or after a system failure. California state law and OSHA regulations mandate that a trained fire watch guard be present to monitor for fire hazards and ensure occupant safety until the fire system is restored.
Surefire Security provides OSHA-compliant fire watch services throughout the Bay Area and Northern California. Our fire watch guards are trained to identify fire hazards, maintain fire watch logs, alert occupants and emergency services, and perform regular walkthroughs of affected areas. We respond quickly — often providing on-site coverage within hours of your call.
When Is Fire Watch Required in California?
Fire watch services are typically required when: a fire sprinkler system is under repair or inspection, a fire alarm system is offline for more than 4 hours in a 24-hour period, during active construction or demolition on a building with hot work operations, or when a local fire marshal or AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) mandates coverage.
