What Does a Fire Watch Guard Do?

Depending upon the requirements established for the property, fire-watch personnel may:

Patrol Designated Areas

Conduct physical patrols of assigned portions of the building or property.

Watch for Smoke, Fire & Hazards

Remain alert for observable signs of smoke, fire, unusual heat or other hazardous conditions.

Document patrol activity according to the procedures established for the assignment.

Fire Watch Logs & Documented Patrols

This deserves its own section because your competitors are specifically targeting it.

One of the organic competitors describes logging hazards and maintaining safety records, while another Hollywood result emphasizes documented patrols.

Fast Guard fire-watch personnel can maintain documentation according to the requirements established for the assignment.

Documentation may include:

Date

Time

Guard Name

Patrol Area

Observations

Hazards Identified

Actions Taken

Incident Information

How Often Does a Fire Watch Guard Patrol?

There is no responsible universal interval that should be advertised for every Hollywood property.

Required frequency can depend upon the affected system, property, occupancy and instructions of the applicable authority.

Fast Guard follows the requirements established for the individual assignment.

Hollywood Fire Prevention & Life Safety

This is where we can make Fast Guard’s page much more locally relevant than a generic city page.

The City of Hollywood’s Division of Fire Prevention and Life Safety performs inspections of buildings, structures, premises and operations for compliance with the Florida Fire Prevention Code. The city also identifies hot work involving torches and open flames among activities requiring permits.

For questions concerning local fire inspections or requirements, property owners should follow the direction of the appropriate fire official.

Fast Guard does not replace the Authority Having Jurisdiction, fire inspector or licensed fire-protection contractor.

Fire Watch Guards Do Not Repair Fire Systems

This corrects one of the biggest problems with the existing page.

Fast Guard fire-watch personnel do not repair, service or certify fire alarms, sprinkler systems or fire pumps.

The appropriate licensed contractor is responsible for repairs.

Fast Guard’s role is to provide qualifying fire-watch personnel who perform the duties established for the assignment while the underlying condition is being addressed.
