Fire watch in San Bernardino is usually an urgent, code-driven need — an impaired sprinkler or alarm system, or hot work — that requires trained officers, timed patrol logs and coordination with the local fire authority.
In San Bernardino, demand for fire watch services is driven by a major Inland Empire logistics center and distribution, rail and intermodal facilities. The sectors that most rely on this service include warehousing and logistics, rail and intermodal, distribution, with specific needs in areas such as the distribution warehouses along the 215 and 210 freeways, the rail and intermodal facilities, the industrial parks. The city's main security concerns — cargo and warehouse theft and rail-yard and intermodal security — make working with a licensed, professional provider a priority investment for businesses and homeowners.

Before you hire
A guide to fire watch: when it's required by code (NFPA 25 impaired sprinklers, OSHA and NFPA 51B hot work, fire-marshal orders), what a fire watch guard does, what it costs, and how quickly it can deploy.
Read the fire watch services buyer's guidePrivate security in California is licensed at the state level by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), Department of Consumer Affairs. A legitimate company operating in San Bernardino holds a Private Patrol Operator (PPO) license, which means it has cleared California BSIS's ownership, background-check and insurance requirements. Ask for that license number in writing and verify it yourself — a certificate on the wall tells you nothing about current standing, since a license can be suspended or revoked.
Hiring an unlicensed company is a risk you carry. In California, operating without a license is misdemeanor (Cal. Business & Professions Code §7582.3). Operating as an unlicensed private patrol operator (or knowingly engaging a non-exempt unlicensed one) is a misdemeanor punishable by a $5,000 fine, up to one year in county jail, or both; falsely holding oneself out as licensed (badge, ID/business card, letterhead, or advertising) is a separate misdemeanor with a fine up to $10,000, and a conviction bars BSIS licensure for one year (five years on a second offense).
San Bernardino scores 36/100 on our Crime Index (grade E), which makes it safer than 7% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 225,448.
