Job Description
Narrow security offers customized, round-the-clock fire watch services you need to protect your property and personnel. With our expertly trained fire watch guards, you can rest assured that you’re in full compliance with the law – and safe.
Narrow Security has been providing fire watch services to companies throughout New York and New Jersey for many years. A significant portion of our business is conducted in the tri-state area. We have trained security officers available to conduct fire watch services.
Narrow Security’s licensed fire watch security and security officers are specially trained and experienced in providing fire watch services to businesses that are in the process of installing a fire protection system or are having problems with their current fire alarm system. We are able to respond immediately to a request for fire watch security services and can deploy our security team with minimal notice. Our fire watch security services remain on site until your fire detection systems and sprinklers are fully operational, and have been inspected and approved by the Fire Marshall.
Our clients typically include builders and construction companies, property developers, and property owners. It usually relates to work being performed at construction sites or the renovation of offices, manufacturing sites, distributions centres, and other facilities. The continued use and occupancy of any structure or business is dependent on all installed fire protection systems being maintained in an operational mode. At the beginning of an assignment, we conduct a walk-through with the client, establishing the patrol area and property under our care. In accordance with best practices and state laws, we provide documentation of all patrolled areas. As noted above, we remain on site until the Fire Marshall has inspected and approved the installed fire protection system. At which time, we are typically released from the assignment.
