Firewatch Security

NFPA-compliant fire watch when your systems are down.

§ Overview

What this covers

When the sprinkler main is down or hot-work is underway, code requires a certified fire watch. Guardian Shield deploys officers trained on NFPA 101 and CAN/ULC-S536, with printable round logs your insurance adjuster and fire marshal will accept without question.

We stock our fire watch bags with extinguishers, radios, and pre-loaded incident templates. Our officers walk the specified route on your specified frequency, no exceptions.

Certified fire watch during sprinkler outages, hot-work operations, and post-incident insurance requirements.

§ Our Process

From walkthrough to first shift.

Every firewatch security deployment follows the same four-step engagement — no short-cuts, no template quotes, no officer placed on a site they've never walked.

01
Discovery walkthrough

A regional supervisor visits your site, interviews stakeholders, and documents current pain points, existing systems, and shift patterns.

02
SOP design

We draft a site-specific Standard Operating Procedure — post orders, escalation ladder, uniform posture, reporting cadence — and review it with your team before deployment.

03
Officer selection

Officers are hand-picked from our regional roster based on skill fit, language requirements, and prior experience with your industry. No random assignments.

04
Deployment & audit

Coverage begins on the agreed date, with the first two weeks audited by the regional supervisor. We course-correct in real time — not at a quarterly review.
