Fire Watch Security Services in New York
Aspire provides professional fire watch personnel for properties requiring temporary monitoring because of an impaired or unavailable fire protection system, site-specific safety condition or approved fire watch requirement.
Structured monitoring when a property needs added fire-safety oversight
Fire watch assignments should be organized around the property, affected areas, patrol frequency, reporting requirements, emergency contacts and the direction of the responsible building party.
- Monitor designated buildings, floors and affected areas
- Perform scheduled patrols according to approved instructions
- Observe for smoke, fire and visible fire-related hazards
- Maintain required activity or fire watch logs
- Report unusual conditions to designated property contacts
- Follow approved emergency notification procedures
- Maintain a visible and professional on-site presence
The property remains responsible for applicable fire-safety requirements
Fire watch requirements can vary by building, system condition and direction from the authority having jurisdiction. Aspire reviews the requested assignment, but the property should confirm required procedures, patrol intervals, notifications and documentation with the appropriate responsible party or agency.
Coverage designed around the property and impairment
Aspire can develop a proposed service scope based on the location, affected system, property layout, required qualifications, patrol instructions and requested schedule.
