About Fire Watch and our
Las Vegas Fire Watch Services

Fire watch is used to enhance fire safety and protection in situations where there is an elevated risk of fire or when regular fire protection systems are unavailable or insufficient. It involves trained personnel actively monitoring for signs of fire, responding to alarms, conducting patrols, and taking appropriate actions to prevent or mitigate fire-related emergencies.

  • Fire Watch Services involve trained security personnel who monitor properties for fire hazards, ensure compliance with fire safety regulations, and respond quickly in the event of an emergency. This service is often required when fire alarm or sprinkler systems are malfunctioning or during construction projects.

  • You should consider Fire Watch Services if your fire detection or suppression systems are offline, if you’re undergoing construction or renovation, or if your property is at increased risk due to special events or system upgrades. Local fire codes may also require fire watch coverage in these scenarios.

  • Our Fire Watch officers conduct regular patrols of the property, monitor for signs of smoke or fire, check that all exits and fire equipment are accessible, and maintain detailed activity logs. They’re trained to respond immediately and coordinate with emergency services if needed.

    Fire Watch officers can watch construction sites or job sites, buildings with potential fire hazards, and hazardous conditions with combustible materials or ignition sources.

  • Yes; all Transcend Security Fire Watch officers are licensed, trained, and compliant with Nevada Fire Watch Protocol requirements. They receive ongoing training in fire prevention, emergency response, and safety protocols.

  • We offer rapid deployment, often within hours of your request. Our team is available 24/7 to address urgent needs and ensure continuous coverage.

  • The duration depends on your situation— typically, services are required until your fire alarm or suppression systems are restored, or until construction or high-risk activities are complete. We’ll work with you to determine the appropriate timeline.

In addition to maintaining safety, we understand the importance of proper documentation. Our team keeps detailed logs and incident reports, which can be critical for audits, insurance claims, or legal compliance.

Prevention

Why not cameras?

While video surveillance is a powerful tool for property monitoring, cameras alone are not a substitute for dedicated Fire Watch Services. Camera equipment lacks the senses of smell, hearing, and perception of what conditions may produce a fire.

Regulatory Compliance

Fire watch requirements are set by local fire marshals and codes; these typically mandate that trained personnel be physically present to detect hazards, respond, and maintain logs—tasks cameras can’t fulfill.

Immediate Human Response

Cameras can record and alert, but they cannot take direct action in an emergency. Fire Watch officers are on site to initiate evacuation, contact emergency services, and address hazards instantly.

Active Patrolling

Fire risks can develop in blind spots or areas not covered by cameras. Fire Watch officers conduct thorough patrols, inspecting all areas for potential hazards, blocked exits, or malfunctioning equipment.

Documentation

Fire Watch Services include written logs and incident reports, which are often required by authorities for compliance and insurance purposes. Cameras may capture footage, but they don’t provide the same level of documentation or accountability.

Use cases

When is Fire Watch needed?

During construction or building renovations.

A fire watch may be required to monitor the site or work area and ensure that fire safety measures are followed until permanent fire protection systems are operational.

When fire alarm systems are offline or under repair.

If a building's fire alarm system or automatic sprinkler system is undergoing maintenance or repair, a fire watch may be implemented to provide temporary fire detection and response capabilities until the systems are back online.

After a fire incident.

Following a fire incident, especially in large or complex buildings, a fire watch may be established to monitor the site for any re-ignition of fires, smoldering debris, or other hot spots that could pose a risk of further fire outbreaks.

During special events.

Events such as concerts, festivals, or outdoor gatherings may require a fire watch to monitor areas where there is a high concentration of attendees and increased fire risk due to factors like cooking equipment, temporary structures, and crowded conditions.

In high-risk environments.

Certain environments, such as chemical plants, manufacturing facilities, or storage warehouses with flammable materials, may require ongoing fire watch services to mitigate fire risks and ensure prompt detection and response to any fire-related incidents.

As a precautionary measure.

In some cases, a fire watch may be implemented as a precautionary measure during periods of extreme heat, drought, or other any other natural or human-made conditions that would increase the likelihood of wildfires or spontaneous combustion.
