GEORGIA · FIRE WATCH

Fire watch.

ATL Firewatch covers sprinkler impairments, alarm outages, hot work, and active construction sites across metro Atlanta — with complete round documentation your AHJ will accept without question.

WHY IT MATTERS

Every guard we send is dedicated to one job: watching for fire.

We built our whole operation around fire watch — the training, the logging, the response time.

Specialist, not generalist

Our personnel are trained specifically on impairment triggers, hot work procedures, and the walk intervals your AHJ expects.

Documentation that holds up

Every round is logged with the site, trigger, interval, and personnel on duty — in the format your fire marshal expects to see.

Same-day dispatch

Sprinkler goes down at 4pm on a Friday? We can have certified personnel on site before your impairment clock runs out.

WHAT TRIGGERS A FIRE WATCH

If you're checking whether you need one, you probably do.

Georgia's adopted fire code and the referenced NFPA standards spell out exact thresholds. Here's the short version — each links to the full code citation.

Fire alarm system out of service > 4 hrs / 24 hr period NFPA 72 Guide →
Sprinkler system impairment > 10 hrs / 24 hr period NFPA 25 Guide →
Hot work — welding, cutting, brazing During & 30 min after NFPA 51B Guide →
Active construction / demolition Per site fire safety plan NFPA 241 Guide →

WHO WE WORK WITH

Built for sprinkler contractors and general contractors first.

Fire protection & sprinkler companies

When a system goes down for testing or repair, you're on the clock. We coordinate directly with your technician on-site and hand you a compliant log the moment the system is restored.

General contractors

Multi-phase builds, hot work permits, occupied-building renovations — we staff single sites or coordinate coverage across several active jobs at once for larger GC programs.
