Miami Fire Watch Results
Brickell High-Rise — Sprinkler Impairment Watch
Challenge
A 40-story Brickell residential tower needed a 72-hour fire watch while the entire sprinkler system was taken offline for a major valve replacement during occupied hours.
Solution
Cherubims deployed two fire watch officers per shift on rotating 8-hour schedules, covering all 40 floors with documented patrol rounds every 30 minutes. Officers maintained direct radio contact with building management and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
Result
The 72-hour impairment was completed without incident. The building's fire marshal accepted Cherubims' patrol logs as full compliance documentation, avoiding any code violations or occupancy restrictions.
Wynwood Renovation — Hot Work Compliance
Challenge
A major commercial renovation in Wynwood required continuous NFPA 51B fire watch during six weeks of structural steel welding in an occupied mixed-use building.
Solution
A dedicated fire watch officer was assigned to each welding crew, monitoring hot work areas during operations and conducting 30-minute post-work patrols for the required cool-down period.
Result
Zero fire incidents over six weeks of active hot work. The general contractor cited Cherubims' fire watch program as a key factor in maintaining their insurance coverage and passing all city inspections.
