Frequently asked questions about Impairment / Fire Watch

When is a fire watch required?
Under NFPA 25, where a water-based fire protection system is out of service for more than 10 hours in a 24-hour period, the building is evacuated or an approved fire watch is established. Local fire codes can be stricter — the record captures the decision made.
Where are impairment tags posted?
At the fire department connection and the system control valve (and wherever else the AHJ requires), so responding crews know the system, or part of it, is out of service.
