Essential Fire Watch Requirements for Businesses in Los Angeles

Los Angeles requires a fire watch when fire systems fail, but property owners must use qualified personnel. A licensed security guard company ensures:

• Guard qualifications
• Patrol accuracy
• Proper reporting
• Liability protection
• Supervisor oversight
• LAFD compliance

This is why most property managers and contractors prefer security companies for firewatch.

Mandatory firewatch is required when:

• Fire alarms malfunction
• Sprinklers are impaired
• Hot work operations occur
• Construction increases fire risk
• The fire marshal issues an order
• Insurance mandates firewatch

A licensed security agency ensures full compliance.

What Our Security Guards Do During Fire Watch

1. Continuous Patrols (Security-Style Rounds)

Guards conduct documented security patrols every 15–30 minutes, inspecting:

• Stairwells
• Exits
• Electrical rooms
• Mechanical rooms
• Construction zones
• High-risk machinery areas
• Outdoor perimeters

Patrols follow industry-standard security post orders.

2. Hazard Monitoring (Security-Level Observations)

Our officers identify and report:

• Smoke/heat indicators
• Exposed wiring
• Blocked exits
• Fire hazards
• Flammable material risks

All findings are documented in accordance with security reporting standards.

3. LAFD-Compliant Firewatch Logs

Logs are formatted using security documentation protocols, ensuring accuracy and acceptance by fire marshals.

4. Emergency Response (Security SOPs)

Guards follow strict emergency action procedures:

• Notify 911 immediately
• Alert occupants
• Begin evacuation support
• Secure the area
• Notify supervisors & property contacts

This is a professional security intervention, not general assistance.

Why Security Companies Are Better for Fire Watch

Some businesses consider using maintenance staff, but this is unsafe and often illegal.

Professional security guard companies are better because:

1. Security Licensing

Guards operate under state security regulations. Internal staff does not.

2. Liability Protection

Security companies carry insurance for guard operations. Internal staff shifts liability to the building owner.

3. Patrol Accuracy

Security guards follow documented patrol rounds with timestamps and reports.

4. Trained Response

Security officers are trained to respond appropriately in emergency situations.

5. Supervision

Internal staff = unsupervised
Security company = supervisors + command structure
