Fire Watch in Los Angeles
Protect people, property, and permits with fire watch services built for Los Angeles codes and venues.
National Protective Service deploys BSIS-licensed fire watch guards for system impairments, hot work, construction sites, and high-rise occupancies across L.A.—from Downtown towers and studios to hotels, hospitals, and shopping centers.
Whether your sprinkler or alarm system is down, you’re conducting hot work, or your site requires overnight watch, we provide continuous coverage, code-aligned patrols, incident readiness, and clear documentation.
Our supervisors create site-specific post orders and coordinate, when needed, with LAFD/LA County Fire and your property team to keep you compliant and operational.
Our officers are fully licensed by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), trained according to industry standards set by ASIS International, and work in close coordination with the Local Police Department to ensure rapid response and community safety. Whether you require threat deterrence, emergency response, or asset protection, our team delivers professional, discreet, and reliable security solutions tailored to your needs.
