Fire watch services in Vancouver and across BC

Fire watch security in Vancouver is offered where a site requires one. Hawk Security also serves properties across BC and in Alberta.

When a site needs a fire watch

A fire watch puts a guard on the property to keep watch while normal fire protection is not available. Hawk Security offers fire watch alongside its on-site guard and mobile patrol services.

Incidents are reported and escalated to the client or the police as needed.

Whether your site needs a fire watch, and what it covers, is confirmed at the free site assessment.

Typical risks

  • Fire protection systems that are out of service
  • Buildings or sites with nobody on hand to raise the alarm
  • Missing records of what was checked

Benefits for property owners and managers

  • A guard on the property while it is needed
  • Incident reporting
  • Guard, patrol and fire watch from one company

Sites that must have eyes on the property

Fire watch suits building owners, strata managers, general contractors and facility managers whose site has to be watched by a person for a period, and who want that handled by the same company that guards the property.

Agreed at the free site assessment

The free site assessment is where we confirm whether your site needs a fire watch, who needs to be told, how long it is expected to run and which areas the guard walks.

How the service works day to day

The guard stays on your property for the agreed period and walks the areas set at the assessment. The guard is there to keep watch and to raise the alarm, so the property is not left unattended.

Reporting and escalation

The guard records what was observed and reports any incident. Incidents are escalated to the client or the police as needed. How often reports are sent and what form they take is agreed at the assessment.
