Our Case Study

On September 20, 2024, in an apartment building on Kipling Ave, Etobicoke, a fire erupted suddenly during the late night hours. In that moment of chaos, two people suffered minor injuries. The cause of the eruption of fire remained a mystery as no one could fully explain what really sparked the incident. This ambiguous situation left tenants and the building owner worried about the future safety of the premises. Amidst the uncertainty, the building owner contacted 247 Gard for fire watch security to handle the situation and avoid any future risks.

Solution:

247 Gard’s fire watch security team, who was already there on duty, called the emergency response department and informed them about the real-time situation. Being on the premises, the first thing the fire watch team did was the careful evacuation of the people from multiple routes to avoid overcrowding. Our fire watch security team quickly started controlling the fire with fire extinguishers avoiding the large ones for the fire department.

After successfully getting control over the fire with the help of emergency responders, the fire watch security team then started assessing the situation of the building, from infrastructure assessment, and electrical wiring to storerooms for hazardous materials. 

During the chaotic environment, 247 Gard’s fire watch team remained calm and assisted the residents with reliable guidance for the safety protocols. Due to the real-time situation updates, the building residents cooperated with the security team in clearing the building quickly.

The security team also identified the blocked emergency exits which could have further escalated losses and injuries. Later, our fire watch security team deployed its reentry protocol, ensuring priority access is available for the safety personnel if further inspections are needed. The security team also implemented the fire watch security plan including 24/7 patrols to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.

Outcome:

247 Gard Security, once again being the sense of relief for their clients, has minimized the risk of future fire incidents. Since its fire watch security team has taken control of the security and safety of the building, no fire incident has been reported. Now, the building owner and residents feel safer and confident, knowing that the fire watch team is always there to protect them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is A Fire Watch Security?

Fire watch security involves one or more trained individuals responsible for monitoring fire hazards and responding to potential fire incidents. Their duties include notifying the fire department and alerting building occupants in case of a fire. Ultimately, their role is to safeguard people and valuable assets from fire-related dangers. 

What Is The Difference Between A Fire Watch And A Fire Guard?

There is a major difference between a fire watch and a fire guard. Fire watch individuals are tasked with temporary vulnerability caused by the malfunction of the fire detection system until it is restored, on the other hand, the fire guard's major purpose is to prevent potential fire eruption elements and maintain a safe environment. 

What Are Some Common Fire Hazards A Security Guard Should Watch For?

Electrical equipment is usually the main reason behind every fire hazard. A fire watch security guard should watch for the electrical equipment such as switches, appliances, and lighting which pose a fire risk if they are faulty, outdated, or improperly installed or maintained. These types of electrical fires spread quickly and rapidly causing sparks, shocks, and even explosions in the buildings.
