Active patrol work
What Fire Watch Guards Do
Fire watch is not passive observation. Every round is an active inspection supported by clear written documentation.
Documented Patrols
Guards patrol every affected area on the required schedule and record routes, times, observations, hazards, and equipment status in written logs.
Hazard Identification
Each round checks for heat near combustibles, electrical problems, blocked exits, smoking violations, open flames, and damaged protection equipment.
Equipment Checks
Guards confirm extinguishers remain accessible, evacuation routes stay clear, and available fire-protection equipment is not obstructed.
Emergency Response
If fire or smoke is found, guards contact emergency services, initiate the site response plan, assist evacuation, and direct arriving firefighters.
