Fire watch is when a person is assigned to keep watch on hot work and fire hazards in an area that does not have automatic fire warning systems or fire suppression systems. A fire watch is required if any of the fire systems is not working temporarily, or if none is in place yet.
In case of fire, the security guard has to take appropriate action now to minimize its aftereffects. Once the fire alarm goes off, the security guards have to confirm the event of the fire outbreak visually.
