Fire Marshal & Fire Watch FAQs
What is a fire watch?
A fire watch is a temporary measure in which trained people patrol a building at regular intervals to look for fire and raise the alarm, for example while a fire alarm system is not working.
Who decides whether a fire watch is needed?
The person responsible for fire safety at the premises decides what interim measures are needed, often with advice from a fire risk assessor. GM Secure supplies the personnel; we do not replace a fire risk assessment.
