A fire watch keeps your property legal the moment sprinklers, alarms, or standpipes go offline. Our certified guards walk your Southern California site on set routes, log every round, and hand the fire marshal paperwork that holds up, often the same day you call.
The California Fire Code requires a fire watch whenever a sprinkler system, fire alarm, or standpipe sits out of service, and most fire marshals want it running within the hour. Our guards patrol at the interval your local department sets, usually every 15 to 30 minutes, note the time and condition of each round, and keep a written record your inspector and insurer can read at a glance. Every officer is state-licensed through the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS).
A CAL Security Group fire watch covers 6 core duties, from the first patrol to the paperwork your inspector signs off on:
