Fire Watch services in Costa Mesa
Costa Mesa packs a lot into a small city: South Coast Plaza, the Segerstrom Center for the Arts area, the OC Fair & Event Center, busy restaurant strips on 17th Street and Harbor Boulevard, and light industrial and creative space in SoBeCa and the Westside. Costa Mesa Fire & Rescue serves the city, and when a fire alarm or sprinkler system is impaired, they may require a fire watch. APS provides fire watch in Costa Mesa for retail, restaurants, offices, apartments and construction projects.
A fire watch in Costa Mesa means a trained guard walking your property on a set schedule, checking for smoke, heat and hazards, keeping exits clear and calling 911 if anything is wrong. Our guards keep a written fire watch log and check in with GPS on every round, with time-stamped photos to back it up. You get a Daily Activity Report after every shift, which makes it easy to show Costa Mesa Fire & Rescue and your owner what was done.
