24/7 Fire Watch Services in Las Vegas, Nevada
When a fire alarm, sprinkler system, fire pump or other fire protection system is not working properly, your building may need a fire watch.
NextGen Watchmen provides 24/7 fire watch services in Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. Our on-site fire watch personnel help protect your property, employees, residents, guests and visitors while an impaired fire protection system is being repaired, tested or returned to service.
What Is a Fire Watch?
A fire watch is a temporary safety measure used when part or all of a building’s normal fire protection system is unavailable.
Fire watch personnel continuously patrol the affected areas of the property. Their job is to look for signs of fire, identify possible fire hazards, notify occupants, call 911 and help people evacuate when necessary.
Las Vegas Fire & Rescue defines fire watch as continuous and systematic surveillance conducted by qualified individuals to identify fire hazards, detect early signs of fire, raise an alarm and notify the fire department.
A fire watch is sometimes called:
- Fire watch guard service
- Fire watch security
- Fire watch watchmen
- Impairment fire watch
- Emergency fire watch
- Sprinkler fire watch
- Fire alarm fire watch
Fire watch does not replace a working fire alarm or sprinkler system. It provides temporary protection while the impaired system is repaired and returned to normal operation.
When Is Fire Watch Required in Las Vegas?
A fire watch may be required when a fire protection or life safety system is shut down, damaged, being repaired or unable to provide its normal level of protection.
Common situations include:
- A fire alarm control panel is not operating
- A fire alarm circuit or detection system has failed
- A sprinkler system has been shut down
- A fire pump is not working
- A standpipe or water supply is impaired
- A fire protection system is undergoing planned maintenance
- Construction or renovation work affects the fire protection system
- A power outage disables part of the fire alarm system
- A building fails a fire system inspection
- The fire code official orders temporary fire watch coverage
- A special event requires additional fire safety personnel
There is not one universal time limit that applies to every Las Vegas property. The requirement can depend on the type of building, number of stories, occupancy classification, system affected and estimated repair time. Current Southern Nevada fire code provisions use separate impairment tables to determine when fire watch, fire department notification or other protective measures may be required.
