Semper Secure firewatch officers on post in New Jersey.

Officers, Not Guards

We Don't Send Guards. We Develop Officers.

Firewatch is sentry duty: a trained security officer physically on your property, watching it. We deploy firewatch officers to construction sites, facilities, and vacant properties that sit exposed overnight, after hours, and between normal operations. Officers patrol the grounds, protect equipment and materials, monitor gates and access points, deter theft and trespassing, document activity, and contact you and the police the moment something is wrong.

Most firewatch calls come from construction superintendents and property managers with tools, copper, machinery, and materials sitting on an open site at night. Coverage can start as a single overnight shift and run as long as the exposure lasts, and we can usually have an officer posted within 24 to 48 hours, often faster.

"I have used Sempre Secure for security and gate management at my music festival for the past 3 years. Without exception, every officer has been meticulous, utterly trustworthy, and prompt. Each of them has blended in to the event, put me at ease, and best of all, maintained a sense of humor. These guys are the real deal, and the best at what they do!"

FAQs

Firewatch Security FAQs

Quick answers to the questions security buyers ask most.

01What does Semper Secure mean by Firewatch?
Sentry duty. A trained security officer assigned to your property to patrol it, watch it, and protect what is on it. Officers deter trespassing and theft, monitor access points, document activity, and respond to incidents.
02Why do companies hire firewatch security?
Usually because a site is exposed: equipment and materials sitting on an unattended jobsite, repeated trespassing or theft, a vacant building, or a short-term gap in normal security coverage. A firewatch officer puts a professional on the ground during the vulnerable hours.
03What does the officer actually do on site?
Patrols on a set schedule, watches entrances, gates, and fence lines, checks that access points stay secured, identifies anyone who should not be there, logs every round and incident in writing, and escalates immediately to you or the police when the situation calls for it.
04Which properties use firewatch the most?
Construction sites most of all, protecting heavy equipment, tools, copper, fuel, and partially completed structures overnight. Also warehouses, equipment yards, vacant commercial buildings, and facilities in transition.
05Can you cover a single night or weekend?
Yes. Coverage runs from one overnight shift to ongoing rotations, and we can usually deploy within 24 to 48 hours, often faster when a site has just been hit.
06Are firewatch officers armed?
Armed or unarmed, based on your site and its risk profile. Every officer is licensed: SORA in New Jersey, ACT 235 in Pennsylvania.
07Do firewatch officers have police powers?
No. They are licensed private security officers. Their job is presence, deterrence, observation, documentation, and fast escalation to police and emergency services when needed.
08How do we request a firewatch deployment?
Call (856) 528-8885 or send the form with the address, the hours you need covered, and what is on the site. We confirm coverage and get an officer posted.
