Resilience Services: Fire Protection, Airport Fire Cover & Safety Support
Professional fire cover, risk assessments, and standby teams – ready when it matters.
Professional Cover When It Counts.
Sector 3 Group delivers flexible, experienced fire protection and safety support to organisations working in high-risk or compliance-critical environments. From airport fire teams to waking watch and fire risk assessments, our resilience services are built around one thing – being ready when it matters.
Whether you need cover for planned works, urgent gaps, or long-term risk management, we provide credible teams who understand real operational pressure. Our people come from the fire service, emergency response, and safety-critical industries. They don’t just turn up – they know what’s at stake.
What We Provide.
-
Airport Fire Resilience and Crew Cover
We provide trained, credible fire crews for airports operating up to Category 10. Whether you need contingency cover, support during periods of absence, or surge staffing for peak operations, our teams are ready to deploy nationwide. All personnel have relevant fire service or aviation firefighting experience and understand the operational standards required under CAP 168. We don’t just send people in uniform – we provide capable crew members who integrate quickly, follow procedures, and deliver professional, dependable cover.
-
Waking Watch and Fire Warden Services
For buildings under temporary fire risk - whether due to cladding, remediation work, or system failure - we deliver visible, accountable waking watch and fire warden teams. Our staff carry out structured patrols, record observations, and are trained in fire recognition, occupant alerting, and emergency response protocols. We provide cover to housing associations, managing agents, and private landlords, often mobilising at short notice. Every deployment includes clear handover notes, escalation protocols, and daily reporting.
-
Fire Risk Assessments and Inspections
We deliver clear, practical fire risk assessments carried out by experienced professionals. Our inspections cover escape routes, signage, firefighting equipment, and high-risk areas. We also assess fire doors, fire alarm systems, and security alarms where they impact evacuation or emergency response. Reports are written for action – not just compliance – and are trusted by housing providers, schools, industrial sites, and construction teams.
-
Fire Protection for High-Risk Worksites
We support construction and demolition companies, utility providers, and infrastructure projects with on-site fire cover. This might involve hot works monitoring, night-watch fire crews, or full site-based fire response during high-risk activities. Our operatives are briefed on site-specific risks and can deliver inductions or contribute to toolbox talks where fire safety is involved. We’re used to working around shift changes, evolving hazards, and tight timescales - and we know how to stay effective without getting in the way of operations.
-
Emergency Planning and Preparedness
For high-risk or complex environments, we provide input into emergency planning, pre-incident plans, and fire strategy development. This includes supporting multi-agency exercising, writing or reviewing site-specific response plans, and offering resilience planning for energy, defence, or large public venues. Our team includes professionals with incident command and major incident planning experience. We bring a grounded understanding of what works when systems come under pressure - and we know how to keep plans realistic, not theoretical.
-
Wellbeing and Trauma Support
We offer tailored wellbeing input for teams working in high-risk roles or exposed to traumatic incidents. This includes structured peer support, awareness sessions, and signposting for PTSD, burnout, and operational stress. Delivered by professionals with lived experience, our approach is honest, practical, and built around building psychological resilience in the real world.
Who We Work With
We support organisations where fire safety and operational resilience aren’t optional. Whether you’re working under regulatory pressure, facing operational gaps, or planning ahead, we provide the people and expertise to get it sorted properly.
Airports
We support airports across the UK with fire crew cover, surge staffing, and ARFF planning, up to Category 10. If you're facing a shortfall in Category-qualified crew, managing sickness cover, or preparing for an audit or inspection, we can deploy experienced professionals who slot into your teams with minimal disruption.
Housing Providers
When buildings are classed as high risk or under remediation, we provide waking watch, fire wardens, and risk assessment support. Whether you're reacting to a fire safety enforcement notice or struggling to find competent staff fast, we help keep residents safe and ensure your responsibilities are covered without delay.
Construction & Demolition
We deliver fire cover for high-risk worksites, including hot works, overnight standby, and temporary protection for hazardous tasks. If you're working on a site without embedded fire safety measures, or if you've been told you need fire presence in place before work can continue, we provide quick, credible solutions that don’t slow your project down.
Industrial Sites
For utilities, manufacturing, and energy operations, we supply standby fire cover and fire risk assessments where in-house provision doesn’t stretch far enough. If your team lacks the capacity or qualifications to manage fire safety in a high-risk process or site, we fill the gap without adding layers of complexity.
Local Authorities & Public Sector
We assist with short-term resilience needs, fire protection planning, and emergency preparedness for public buildings or critical infrastructure. If you’ve identified gaps in your response plans, need temporary staff, or want input into fire resilience from people who’ve led it operationally, we’re ready to support you.
