Fire Watch Services
Virginia Surveillance Force provides emergency, certified Fire Watch Services for commercial buildings, residential complexes, hotels, hospitals, and construction sites throughout Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC.
When a building's fire alarm, sprinkler system, or water riser is offline for maintenance, malfunction, or construction, local fire marshals require an immediate certified fire watch.
VSF fire watch officers are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, deploying within hours to keep your facility compliant, open for business, and protected against fire hazards.
