Fire Watch Services: What You Get
When your fire alarm or sprinkler system goes down — during construction, maintenance, or after a malfunction — the fire department can require a fire watch: trained personnel on site around the clock until the system is restored. This isn't optional, and it often starts immediately. We connect you with providers who deploy fire watch guards fast.
Who Hires This Service
Building owners, property managers, contractors, and facility teams facing fire system outages, construction phases without active suppression, or fire department orders.

The Montreal Angle
Montreal's building stock — from century-old walk-ups to new towers — means fire system work is constant, and fire watches with it. The Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal takes fire watch requirements seriously; non-compliance risks fines and liability. Providers in our network understand exactly what the fire department expects in documentation and coverage.
Licensed Providers Only
Every guard placed through our network holds a valid BSP agent licence under Quebec's Private Security Act. Our partner agencies hold the appropriate agency licences. Verify any licence in the BSP's public register — we encourage it.
