Fires are devastating and may result in property damage, asset loss and even casualties. When a fire protection system fails, your property is unprotected from the risk of a fire disaster. Under state law, a 24-hour fire watch may be required for your Denver area building for as long as a system failure or malfunction exists. Failure to properly secure your property can result in fines or temporarily shutting down your business.

Armed with in-depth knowledge of risk factors and fire watch procedures, our guards – who can be deployed at a moment’s notice – patrol your property. They know the specific hazards to look for and precisely how to react to any sign of potential danger. In the event of fire, our systems ensure early warning and rapid mobilization to prevent or minimize damage.

Our fire watch guards meet all state requirements established by the fire marshal. They have specialized training, not only in fire safety, but also in the fire safety equipment and evacuation processes unique to your location.

Colorado’s dry climate creates the perfect environment for fires to easily spread. If your fire protection system is not working, fire watch services are especially important to prevent the spread and potential damage from fire.
