Top Maryland Fire Watch Service
Do you need fire watch?
Call (855) 466-5944
Urgent Security & Fire Watch is your number one Maryland fire watch company. A fire watch patrol is responsible for monitoring all areas of a building for fire or fire hazards when the building’s fire alarm system or sprinkler system is down due to maintenance, repair, replacement, or other issues resulting in a non-functional system. Fire watch patrols involve patrol officers patrolling the affected areas looking for signs of fire or safety issues. Each patrol is documented in a log that is maintained and ready for the fire marshal’s inspection.
Most jurisdictions require fire watch patrols to be conducted a minimum of once every hour. Urgent Security & Fire Watch takes the extra step of requiring its officers to patrol every 30 minutes. In some jurisdictions, such as Prince George's County fire watch, officers are required to contact the fire department dispatch center every hour to report their status. As the top Maryland fire watch service, Urgent Security & Fire Watch complies with all regulations.

HOW MANY FIRE WATCH PATROLS DO YOU NEED?
The number of fire watch patrol officers required depends on the number and configuration of the floors that are affected by the malfunctioning fire alarm or sprinkler system. Some buildings need 1 or 2, others require as many as 12. For fire watch service in Washington DC, the number of officers per floor is detailed in the regulations. In Maryland, most jurisdictions do not have a precise formula to determine the amount of fire watch required. In most cases, the fire marshal determines how many are necessary.
Urgent Security’s account managers use their experience to assist in determining the number of fire watch necessary for each project. The fire marshal ultimately determines the specific number of fire watch. Urgent Security’s account manager serves as a liaison between the fire marshal and its Maryland fire watch clients.
