Fire watch guards at a San Francisco building performing documented rounds

Fire Watch in Sacramento

Keep people and property safe while systems are offline or hot-work is underway.

When a fire alarm or sprinkler system is impaired—or welding, cutting, or grinding is scheduled—our Fire Watch Sacramento teams step in fast.

We deliver documented, time-stamped rounds; verify clear egress paths; stage extinguishers; and monitor conditions until your systems are restored or hot-work is closed out. Officers are California BSIS-licensed security professionals trained on site-specific procedures and aligned with Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) expectations.

We coordinate with building management, contractors, and the fire alarm vendor, keep a concise log for your records, and escalate immediately to 911 per your protocol.

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.

Impaired-System Fire Watch (Sacramento)

When alarms or sprinklers go down—planned maintenance, water damage, device failures—we institute a continuous watch with time-controlled rounds. Officers monitor the impairment area, note panel status, verify egress routes and stairwells remain clear, and watch housekeeping issues (debris, combustible storage, propped doors).

We confirm valve/tag states with facilities, track contractor activity in affected zones, and keep a rolling log with exact timestamps, locations, and observations that your AHJ and insurer can understand in seconds. If smoke, heat, or fire indicators are observed, we follow your protocol: immediate 911 call, building notification, and guided evacuation assistance while staying in radio contact with management.

Our goal is simple: maintain an alert human presence that detects hazards early and documents the impairment cleanly until systems return to normal.

Quick duties: timed rounds • egress/housekeeping checks • panel/impairment notes • contractor coordination • 911/escalation per SOP • shift log delivery

Hot-Work Watch & Permit Control

Cutting, welding, and grinding generate sparks and heat that can smolder long after the last weld.

Our hot-work program verifies permits and boundaries, confirms PPE and extinguishers are staged, and keeps a clear radius around work. During operations we watch for stray sparks and heat migration (ceilings/voids), protect passersby with proper signage, and log any interruptions.

After work ends, we run a cooldown watch for the required interval, checking adjacent areas and hidden voids for lingering heat before the permit is closed. Where the venue allows, we attach photos and timestamps to your log so safety teams and the GC can file and audit easily.

Quick duties: permit verification • extinguisher/PPE check • spark perimeter control • cooldown timing • signage & hazard cordons • photo/timestamped log
