Fire Watch and Monitor Guide
Fire Watch is required:
•
in the event of temporary failure of the fire alarm system,
•
where activities require the interruption of any fire detection, suppression or alarm
system component or
•
activities increase the risk of fire, e.g., hot work.
A “Fire Watch Warden” is a trained person or persons whose sole responsibility is to look
for fires within an established area, to warn others and to notify the fire department.
When required, the responsibilities and duties of the Fire Watch Warden are:
1. The Fire Watch Warden must patrol every level of the building under fire watch at
intervals of no less than 30 minutes.
2. Be familiar with the building and have a method for sounding an alarm in the event of a
fire.
3. Watch out for fire hazards.
4. Keep flammable materials from ignition sources.
5. In the event of smoke or fire, activate the fire alarm system. If the fire alarm system is
inoperable, then use a sounding device such as an air horn to alert occupants of the
building.
6. Call 911 (cellphone)
7. Never leave the premises unless another Fire Watch Warden can replace you.
