According to the National Fire Protection Association, 12,264 fires in 2021 were started by fireworks in the U.S. causing $59 million in property damage. The Fourth of July and the days immediately before and after the holiday are the times when fire risk is at its highest. A strong fire watch security guard presence can keep your property safe from devastating fires during the July 4 holiday.

Trained Guards Spot Fires. Communities and businesses in high-fire-risk areas can benefit from the use of trained fire watch security guards before, during and after July 4. Security guards patrol locations including neighborhoods, retail centers and other businesses. In case of fire, guards quickly call the fire department and take steps to extinguish the fire. When necessary, they escort people to safety. Guards are also proactive. If they see individuals setting off fireworks or trespassing, they’ll intervene and contact law enforcement. When it comes to fires, second counts. A guard on duty can prevent damage to homes and businesses caused by wayward fireworks.
