Fire Watch Services
Continuous documented patrol when the fire alarm or sprinkler system is out of service — usually on very short notice.
Overview
What this covers
When a building's fire alarm or sprinkler system is impaired, the fire code requires a fire watch, and the building normally finds this out the same day. What the fire department will eventually ask for is the log: who patrolled, what route, at what interval, and what they found.
Praxon deploys fire watch quickly and documents it properly. Officers patrol the defined route at the required interval, check the known risk points, and keep a legible written log that the fire department, the insurer and the building owner can all rely on. We also cover hot work watch for welding and cutting operations.
