Industrial and manufacturing facilities
High-rise residential buildings
High-risk sectors such as aviation and energy

Waking Watch for High-Risk Buildings
We provide round-the-clock waking watch teams for buildings where extra fire safety measures are needed. This includes buildings with combustible cladding or incomplete fire detection systems.
Our marshals:
Patrol 24/7 to detect signs of fire
Initiate evacuation and guide residents to safety
Keep detailed patrol and incident logs for compliance
Follow current National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) guidance
We can scale provision to suit anything from a single entrance to 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.

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.
