Firewatch

Firewatch is a regulated service — when a fire-suppression system is impaired, when hot-work is in progress, or when a site has been red-tagged, you need an officer on-shift logging structured checkpoints to a defined cadence. We staff WSBC-aligned firewatch with photo-evidenced checkpoint logs and direct dispatch escalation if an alarm condition is detected.
