What is Fire Watch and Waking Watch Service?

Fire Watch and Waking Watch services are temporary fire safety measures used when a building’s fire alarm system, sprinklers, or other fire protection systems are not fully operational. In these situations, trained officers remain on-site to monitor the property and quickly identify any signs of fire risk.

Across Essex, this service is commonly required for residential buildings, apartment blocks, construction sites, and commercial properties undergoing maintenance or fire safety upgrades. Officers conduct regular patrols, monitor shared areas, and help ensure occupants remain safe until permanent fire safety systems are restored.
