When You Need Us
Four Situations That Require Fire Watch
California Fire Code Section 901.7 covers these common scenarios. When a fire protection system is out of service for more than 4 hours in a 24-hour period, fire watch may be required immediately, time is a factor.
Sprinkler System Offline
When your fire sprinkler system is shut down for inspection, flushing, valve work, or repair, your building is in an impaired condition that fire watch fills.
- Coverage during maintenance, inspection & repair
- Required by code beyond 4 hours of impairment
- Continuous monitoring until the system is back in service
Trigger: Required by law over 4 hours of impairment
Hot Work Operations
Welding, cutting, brazing, and grinding produce open flame, sparks, and heat. Fire watch is required during the operation and for at least one hour after work stops, in any building type.
- Coverage during and after hot work
- Watch for smoldering material & hidden ignition
- Applies across all facility types
Trigger: NFPA 51B + CA Fire Code
Construction & Renovation
Buildings under active construction or renovation often operate without fully commissioned fire protection systems. Fire watch keeps workers protected and shields adjacent occupied structures.
- Coverage through active build & fit-out phases
- Protection during tenant improvements
- Safeguards neighboring occupied buildings
Trigger: Active build & fit-out phases
Power Outage Affecting Alarms
Extended outages can disable fire alarm panels, detection devices, and communication systems. When backup power is depleted or unavailable, fire watch becomes the only active early-warning system.
- Human early-warning when alarms are down
- Real-time watch for smoke, heat & hazards
- On-site until systems are restored
Trigger: Until systems are restored
