Businesses and property managers are using security guards to protect their locations against fires caused by illegal fireworks as the July 4 holiday approaches, says Access Patrol Services (APS), a security guard company serving California and Arizona.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, an estimated 19,500 fires were caused by fireworks in 2018 with $105 million in property damage. The organization found half the fires reported on July 4 were the result of fireworks.

“The amount of illegal fireworks may be even higher this year because so many community firework shows have been cancelled,” says Fahim Abid, APS security director. “These fireworks can reach temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees. They are launched into the sky with little regard of where they’ll land. Unfortunately, many come down on rooftops or in vegetation that can lead to structure fires.”

APS is noticing an increase in calls from business owners who are worried that illegal fireworks may start fires on their property. It is not just business owners who are worried. Security guards are being assigned to patrol retail centers, gated communities, schools and other locations. We will be active on 4th july firework for security guard in california

“Every July 4, the night sky is lit up by fireworks,” says Abid. “Police can’t respond to every call about someone setting off illegal fireworks. If our guards spot a fire, they call the fire department immediately. If the fire is small, they are trained and have the proper equipment to extinguish the flames before they can grow.”
