South Central Fire and Rescue Service® LTD
WAKING WATCH SERVICES
Our firefighters are highly trained local authority professionals, delivering dependable & fully compliant fire safety solutions you can trust.
Our Waking Watch teams provide 24/7 fire monitoring for residential & commercial properties, helping to protect occupants, reduce risk & meet current fire safety regulations.
Waking Watch arrangements are typically implemented to support compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which places a legal duty on the Responsible Person to take appropriate measures to reduce fire risk & ensure the safe evacuation of occupants. In situations where permanent fire safety systems are not yet in place or are temporarily compromised, a Waking Watch can form part of an effective interim fire safety strategy.
