Trusted officers
Every officer is background checked, and we’re fully insured.
Older San Francisco buildings, high-rises mid-renovation and residential buildings with aging panels all end up needing fire watch at some point, usually with almost no warning.
The officer on fire watch has one assignment. They keep walking every affected floor and area, look and smell for smoke, check for heat and hazards, keep exits and stairwells clear and if something’s wrong, they pull the alarm and get help on the way. Each round goes into a timed log kept in the building for your engineer, your contractor and the inspector.
Call us as soon as you hear the system is down, and we’ll get moving. Fire watch can cover one night, a long weekend or months of work. On construction sites, it can run next to regular site security.

A few useful answers
The fire department or your fire alarm or sprinkler vendor will tell you. Once they do, we provide the officer.
Call us right away. Fire watch almost always comes up last-minute and we jump on it.
It’s better as its own post, since desk duties would interrupt the rounds.
When each round happened, which areas were walked and anything worth noting.
