An uninhabitable building damaged by fire is a target for thieves.
Access Patrol Services fire watch security guards protect residential and commercial properties after fire damage.

Construction site fires cause over $300 million in property damage a year according to the National Fire Protection Association. Electrical malfunctions, heat sources too close to combustibles and unsafe cutting and welding are the primary causes. Arson accounts for one in every 10 construction site fires. A fire on a construction site can halt the job for months and add significantly to the cost of the project.
Our guards are trained to spot and report potential fire hazards to construction management. Guards continually check and document fire protection systems during the construction phase so the fire department can issue a Certificate of Occupancy once the job is completed.
