Reliable, Professional Fire Watch is A Call Away!
The Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code bases its determination of when fire watch is required based on the guidelines of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Fire watch is required whenever a fire alarm is malfunctioning for 4 or more hours. Sprinkler system outages of over 10 hours require fire watch.
Common situations include:
- Alarm or sprinkler system failure
- Frozen pipes or water damage
- Renovations that disable your system
- New construction awaiting final approval
- Fire marshal inspection with violations
Virginia has specific fire watch requirements
In most cases fire watch projects in Virginia are required to have 1 fire watch officer per building. The number of fire watch officers often changes based on the size of the building and purpose of the building. For example, the fire marshals will often require additional staff for medical facilities.
Here are some additional guidelines
• Patrols must occur a minimum of one per hour
• Every patrol must be documented on patrol logs
• Patrol logs must be on site, ready for inspection
• Fire watch must not do any duties other than fire watch while on fire watch duty
• In case of fire the fire watch officers must dial 911 and evacuate the building

We know what it takes to comply with the Fire Marshals Requirements.
What Happens If There Is a Problem
Because fire watch is handled by individuals, human error is always a possibility. That's why we’ve built robust quality assurance systems designed to prevent lapses and ensure immediate correction if an issue arises. Should anything deviate from the plan, our support team is structured to react instantly, safeguarding your property and maintaining full regulatory compliance.
Our strategy for ensuring reliable service includes:
- Officer Accountability: Officers are fully aware that their performance is consistently monitored, which reinforces their diligence and adherence to established protocols.
- Comprehensive Oversight: We use a combination of active supervision, GPS-based check-ins, and regular site visits from supervisors to track officer activity and guarantee patrols are completed correctly.
- Active Problem Resolution: Any identified issue is escalated and resolved immediately, preventing minor inconsistencies from developing into significant liabilities for your business.
