When your fire alarm or sprinkler system is impaired—or hot work is underway—you need compliant fire watch now.
National Protective Service deploys BSIS-licensed fire watch guards across San Francisco to perform continuous patrols, identify hazards, and document rounds for your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
We establish clear routes and intervals, carry communication devices, stage extinguishers as required, and maintain a detailed fire watch log with times, locations, and conditions.
Whether coverage is needed for a few hours, overnight, or multiple days, we scale quickly and coordinate with your property team, contractors, and monitoring providers.
Our goal: life safety, code adherence, and a smooth path to system restoration.
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.
