Fire Watch services in Los Angeles
When a fire alarm panel goes into trouble or a sprinkler riser is shut down for repairs, the building cannot simply sit unprotected. In Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) can require a fire watch until the system is back in service, and property managers often need someone on site within hours. APS provides fire watch in Los Angeles for apartment towers in Downtown LA and Koreatown, office buildings along Wilshire, studios and creative spaces in Hollywood, and warehouses in the Arts District and the San Fernando Valley.
Our Los Angeles fire watch guards walk every floor and area on a set schedule, keep a written fire watch log with the time of each round, and know where the exits, pull stations and extinguishers are before the first round starts. If they find smoke or fire, they call 911 first and then alert building staff. Every round is checked in with GPS and backed by time-stamped photos, so you have a clean record to show the fire inspector, your insurance carrier and the owner.
