Fire watch in Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale, demand for fire watch services is driven by the cruise and cargo Port Everglades and a large marine and yachting industry. The sectors that most rely on this service include cruise and cargo shipping, marine and yachting, beachfront tourism, with specific needs in areas such as downtown Fort Lauderdale, Port Everglades, the beachfront and marina districts. The city's main security concerns — marina and waterfront theft and corporate lobby and access control — 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 Florida is licensed at the state level by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Licensing. A legitimate company operating in Fort Lauderdale holds a Class “B” Security Agency license, which means it has cleared FDACS'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 Florida, operating without a license is first-degree misdemeanor (first offense), escalating to a third-degree felony for a second or subsequent offense (Fla. Stat. § 493.6120). A first violation of Florida's private-security licensing law (operating or being employed as an unlicensed Class B agency or officer) is a first-degree misdemeanor; a second or subsequent violation is a third-degree felony, and FDACS may also seek a civil penalty of up to $10,000, with anyone convicted of a chapter 493 violation ineligible for licensure for five years.
Fort Lauderdale scores 42/100 on our Crime Index (grade E), which makes it safer than 10% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 191,199.
