When a fire alarm or sprinkler system is impaired—or welding, cutting, or grinding is scheduled—our Fire Watch New York teams step in fast. We deliver documented, time-stamped rounds; verify clear egress paths; stage extinguishers; and monitor conditions until systems are restored or hot-work closes.
Officers are New York–licensed security professionals, trained on site-specific procedures and aligned with AHJ/FDNY expectations. We coordinate with building management, contractors, and the 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.

Planned maintenance, water damage, or device failures can take alarms or sprinklers offline. We institute a continuous watch with time-controlled rounds.
Officers monitor impairment zones, note panel status, verify egress routes and stairwells stay clear, and watch housekeeping risks (debris, combustible storage, propped doors). We confirm valve/tag states with facilities, track contractor activity, and keep a rolling log with exact timestamps, locations, and observations your AHJ and insurer can review in seconds.
If smoke, heat, or fire indicators appear, we follow your protocol: immediate 911, building notification, and guided evacuation assistance while staying in radio contact with management.
Quick duties: timed rounds • egress/housekeeping checks • panel/impairment notes • contractor coordination • 911/escalation per SOP • shift log delivery
Cutting, welding, and grinding create heat that can smolder after the last weld. Our program verifies permits and boundaries, confirms PPE and extinguishers are staged, and maintains a clear spark perimeter.
During operations, we watch for stray ignition and heat migration (ceilings/voids), protect passersby with signage, and log interruptions. After work ends, we run a cooldown watch for the required interval, checking adjacent areas and hidden voids before closing the permit.
Where allowed, 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
Intervals are set by your AHJ and impairment conditions. We align routes/timing to those requirements and document each round.
