FAQ

Common questions.

What does a waking watch fire marshal do?

A waking watch fire marshal monitors the building, patrols agreed areas, looks for signs of fire or hazards, raises the alarm if needed, and follows the site evacuation plan.

When is waking watch required?

It may be required where fire safety issues have been identified and temporary monitoring is needed while longer-term safety measures are addressed.

Do waking watch officers patrol overnight?

Where the assignment requires continuous cover, patrols can be arranged across day and night schedules.
