Firewatch Services That Keep You Compliant & Protected

When an emergency strikes, the last thing you want is more uncertainty. If a fire alarm system is offline or not functioning properly, fire code requires property managers to implement a 24/7 firewatch until repairs are completed. That means someone has to walk the property at regular intervals, typically every 15–30 minutes, to check for signs of fire or smoke and document every round.

It’s a big ask. And when your day is already filled with resident requests, maintenance coordination, and vendor oversight, staying overnight to complete fire watch rounds isn’t just inconvenient. It’s unsustainable.

The NEI Difference: A Firewatch Solution That Works for You

Northwest Enforcement provides professional firewatch services that meet the requirements of the City of Portland firewatch mandate requirements and give you peace of mind. We deploy trained officers quickly, often within the hour, so you can fulfill emergency obligations without asking your staff to burn the candle at both ends.

Our clients rely on NEI for:

• Rapid deployment of trained officers
• Real-time digital reporting for compliance and transparency
• 24/7 locally manned dispatch
• Visible deterrence against suspicious behavior
• Flexible contracts that fit your specific needs

Our officers are trained to monitor more than just fire risk. They stay alert to activity across your property, acting as an added layer of security when your team is off the clock.

But our services go beyond the bare minimum.

Real-Time Reporting. Real Peace of Mind.

We use digital reporting tools that let you monitor firewatch records in real-time. Whether you’re at your desk or off-site, you can view officer activity, track documentation, and download reports with a few clicks. Our transparent reporting is perfect for audits, insurance claims, or simply keeping your files in order. You’ll always know who was onsite, what they did, and how they supported your emergency response plan.

While meeting your compliance needs, our officers also act as a deterrent for suspicious activity and unwanted behavior. You get fire watch protection and a security presence in one smart solution. Whether it’s after-hours loitering, unauthorized entry, or vandalism concerns, having a uniformed officer on-site makes a noticeable difference. This is especially important during overnight shifts when your team is off the clock.
