SERVICES
ASAP FIREWATCH services throughout various counties in Northern Virginia and Maryland. We provide the following services:
Planned Impairments
Planned impairments are for routine inspections, testing and maintenance that require fire protection systems to be taken offline. ASAP FIREWATCH can provide a trained impairment coordinator to direct operations on behalf of management throughout a planned impairment. Our impairment coordinator will design an impairment plan to ensure the safety of life and property.
Emergency Impairments
Emergency impairments are unforeseen events or unplanned impairments in which the fire safety systems have been partially or fully shutdown and require emergency physical presence. When unplanned impairments occur, appropriate emergency response time is critical. The ASAP FIREWATCH impairment coordinator will respond within a two hour time frame to assess the property and implement an impairment plan.
We provide the following services for planned and emergency impairments:
Assess the extent and expected duration of the impairment.
Inspect the areas or buildings involved to determine if there are any increased risks.
Provide recommendations to the management team or building owner.
Issue a formal notice to all affected parties (e.g. fire department, insurance carrier, alarm company, property supervisors and any other authorities that have jurisdiction).
Implement the tag system to indicate that a fire watch is in effect.
Assemble all necessary tools and materials to begin the fire watch.
Conduct patrol of the designated area every 30 minutes unless otherwise authorized by the Fire Marshal.
Capture video log of the patrol and complete written log as required.
