This is where our trained security staff come in. In the event that the building fire detection system is offline or malfunctioning, we can respond quickly to any incidents.

Truth
Correct fire watch procedure, as defined by the state of Pennsylvania, requires one designated fire watch officialfor every five floors.

“I have a smoke detecting system in my building, so I don’t need fire watch.”
Truth
Often with large properties, you might not have smoke detectors in every part of your property. Fire can spread and you never know when a few flames might lead to something catastrophic.
