What is a fire watch?

A fire watch is a periodic physical inspection of a building for fires or fire hazards. Fire watch is required when a building’s fire alarm, sprinkler, or other fire suppression system is off-line. This is a requirement of the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. Fire watch personnel conduct inspections by walking through the entire building or area. They look for evidence of fire, smoke, or other fire hazards. Fire watch is also required during any kind of business activity that includes high temperatures or an elevated risk of fires. This includes construction, demolition, and many industrial activities.

Code 4 Fire Watch understands the importance of fire watch for businesses. Our fire watch company is designed to meet the requirements of AHJ’s (Authority Having Jurisdiction). We conduct fire watches to keep your business up to code and communicate with local and state officials.

Why does my business need a fire watch?

The first priority of fire watch services is to protect life. In addition to preventing harm to building occupants, businesses require fire protection to stay open. If a business does not adhere to local and state fire codes, they face severe penalties and can be shut down. When your emergency fire systems are not functioning, the first thing you should do is call a fire watch company. This will prevent any interruptions in your business and will protect any building occupants.
