The Role of Fire Watch Systems in Apartment Blocks

Fire safety is essential regardless of the environment you reside, as it helps protect lives, property, and belongings. The situation becomes more critical when dealing with Hotels and Apartment blocks where the proximity of residents and shared infrastructure increases the risks associated with fires. 

Our Fire Watch Systems smartly integrate human vigilance and advanced technology, playing a vital role in monitoring fire risks, maintaining safety protocols, and protecting lives and property. This blog exemplifies the significance of fire watch systems, how they function, and why they are indispensable for apartment blocks.

Our technical team at Guard Patrol Products considered the problem of fire outbreaks a high priority and came up with a Fire Watch Solution powered by our MiniTool Pro series. It is specifically designed to detect a fire before it spreads and to alert authorities and emergency services promptly.

How Our Fire Watch Systems Prove to be an Effective Mechanism for Apartment Blocks and Hotels

The Mini Tool Pro Patrol/Fire Watch Monitoring Solution provides you with the ability to produce accurate electronic reports identifying that your operatives are undertaking their tasks in accordance with your Fire Policy exactly when and where they should do. Providing detailed reporting on routine activities such as:

• Routine checks that fire exits and escape routes are not blocked. This includes opening fire doors to make sure there are no obstructions outside. 
• Fire Doors are not left open. 
• Checking that the fire extinguishers haven’t been moved and that their servicing is up to date. 
• Making sure nothing is covering any emergency exit break glass or fire alarm call point. 
• Guarding against the accumulation of rubbish. A combustible fire risk. 
• Regularly checking that emergency lighting is working (inside and outside the building).
•  Weekly fire and disaster alarms checks. Carrying out periodic inspections to ensure that all parts of the premises are safe. 
• Before locking up at night, make sure that there are no obvious dangers left behind, that no combustible material is lying around, all doors and windows are securely fastened.
