  • Checking escape routes and keeping them clear

  • Monitoring hot work and high-risk activities

  • Ensuring fire safety equipment is present and serviceable

  • Keeping fire safety records and daily logs up to date

Waking Watch for High-Risk Buildings

We provide trained, alert fire marshals for buildings where additional safety measures are needed – such as those with combustible cladding or where fire detection systems are not yet fully installed. Our waking watch teams:

  • Patrol the building 24/7 to detect and respond to signs of fire

  • Raise the alarm immediately and assist with safe evacuation

  • Support residents and vulnerable occupants during emergencies

  • Keep detailed patrol and incident logs for compliance and insurance purposes

We follow the latest National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) guidance for waking watch provision and can scale teams to cover single entrances or multiple blocks.

Example in Action

Imagine a large outdoor event with thousands of attendees. Our marshals would carry out a pre-event risk assessment, monitor hot works during setup, and patrol throughout the day. If a hazard was spotted — such as an electrical fault or blocked exit — it would be addressed immediately, keeping the event safe and running smoothly.

Training & Competence

Every marshal we supply is fully trained, competent, and ready for the specific environment they’ll be working in. We can also deliver Fire Marshal Training to your in-house team, including refresher sessions and scenario-based exercises.
