At UniMovers, we’ve always been about more than just moving. Over time, we’ve expanded our labor-based services to include event staffing, temporary warehouse support, and more, always looking for ways to fill real needs in our communities. One growing need we’ve noticed? Fire watch services.
When systems go down or construction is underway, businesses and property managers often scramble to find reliable, compliant fire watch coverage. We believe in stepping up where our communities need us most — and that’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our newest service: Fire Watch, now available in select locations!

What Is Fire Watch?
Fire watch is a critical safety service that involves assigning trained personnel to patrol properties when fire alarms, sprinkler systems, or other fire suppression tools are temporarily unavailable or non-functional. Whether it’s due to system maintenance, construction, or unexpected outages, fire watch ensures compliance with local fire codes and helps prevent dangerous (and costly) incidents.
Who Needs Fire Watch?
- Construction Sites (especially during hot work like welding)
- Apartment Buildings and Hotels with temporarily disabled alarm systems
- Event Venues lacking built-in fire suppression
- Industrial Facilities handling hazardous materials
- Schools, Hospitals, and Government Buildings during renovations or system failures
In many cases, local fire marshals will require a certified fire watch on-site to avoid fines or forced closures.
Why We’re Stepping In
We recognized a gap in many of the communities we serve — a lack of reliable, professional, and on-demand fire watch personnel. With our experience in staffing, logistics, and customer service, we’re uniquely positioned to provide flexible, trained personnel quickly to areas where it is needed most.
We already have some trained members of our team in NFPA standards and local compliance requirements, and we’re proud to now offer peace of mind alongside our trusted service.
What You Can Expect from UniMovers Fire Watch
- Same-day and emergency availability
- Trained and uniformed staff
- Detailed reporting and compliance logs
