Fire Watch Guard Services

✅ A: All FireWatchGuards.com personnel maintain state-specific certifications plus advanced NFPA 601 compliance training. For NYC clients, every deployed guard holds a valid FDNY Certificate of Fitness F-01 – the legally mandated credential for fire watch during sprinkler/alert system impairments. Our certification protocol includes:

• Mandatory 40-hour impairment management training

• Quarterly live-fire simulations

• FBI background checks and drug screening

• $5M liability insurance per guard

Unlike budget providers using “certified” as a buzzword, we provide verifiable license numbers and digital credential access pre-deployment.
