FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a firewatch guard and a normal security guard?

A firewatch guard is different from a standard security guard in that they have a specialty. They have advanced training that allows them to be better equipped for spotting potential fire hazards and resolving them in an efficient and safe manner.

Do they keep records of hazards?

Yes, a large part of the job is filing reports so that other guards and the necessary personnel are aware of potential hazards, both resolved and unresolved. Good record keeping is an essential aspect of the job that we require.

Why do I need a firewatch guard?

There are a few reasons why you might need a firewatch security guard. The first of which and one of the most common reasons is that due to construction or renovation you’re at an increased risk for fire. A firewatch guard will be able to monitor the situation and possible problem areas that are at a higher chance for fire.

If a fire starts and they have called emergency services is there anything else a firewatch guard can do?

A firewatch guard must be prepared in the case of a fire. Even with the best prevention methods sometimes events happen that are out of anyone’s control. If a fire were to breakout they can assist in the evacuation of persons in the building or area that are threatened by the fire. Knowing the proper evacuation procedures is a requirement for this position.

Do firewatch guards put out fires?

The answer isn’t straight forward and is often contextual. If a small fire breaks out that is easily controllable with an extinguisher then yes, unless there is a risk to their person or instructions not to intervene. Should a fire spread or threaten to spread beyond what the firewatch officer can control they’ll immediately contact emergency services with all of the information necessary for a fast response.

Is firewatch a permanent position?

Often the position is temporary that is necessary as the risk for fire increases. The most common way this happens is during renovation or construction. It’s common in those situations for sparks to be everywhere and sawdust and other construction byproducts are often highly flammable. This is why you need a firewatch guard, to handle the prevention of fires.
