Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Watch Services

Fire Watch is typically required when fire alarm or sprinkler systems are offline, malfunctioning, or temporarily shut down for maintenance or construction. Local fire authorities may mandate Fire Watch coverage to maintain life-safety monitoring until systems are restored and fully operational.
How quickly can Emergency Fire Watch services begin?
Emergency Fire Watch coverage can often begin shortly after confirmation of service needs. Deployment timing depends on location, staffing availability, and site conditions, but Diligence Security prioritizes rapid response to help properties maintain compliance during unexpected system outages.
Do Fire Watch Officers remain on-site continuously?
Yes. Fire Watch Officers typically remain on-site and conduct continuous patrols throughout required coverage periods. Officers actively monitor assigned areas, check for hazards, and maintain required documentation to ensure consistent observation while fire protection systems are offline.
Is Fire Watch required overnight or outside business hours?
Fire Watch requirements usually apply continuously, including overnight hours, weekends, and holidays, until fire protection systems are restored. Coverage schedules are determined by fire authority guidance and property occupancy conditions.
What documentation is provided during Fire Watch coverage?
