Fire Watch

The Mukilteo Fire Department has prepared the Mukilteo Fire Department Fire Watch Form (PDF) to assist in clarifying the requirements and responsibilities of maintaining continuous and systemic surveillance of a building.

Fire Watch Requirements

A fire will be required to be maintained whenever a fire alarm system and/or sprinkler system has been identified as either in "trouble" status or the system has been shut down. The fire code specifically requires that fire alarms and sprinkler systems be maintained as they were installed for protection of human lives and to minimize property damage in the event of a fire (NFPA 72 and NFPA 101).
