Fire marshal FAQs
Are fire marshals the same as security guards?
Not necessarily. Fire marshals are trained in fire awareness and evacuation. Where the role also involves guarding duties — access control or responding to security incidents — the operative holds an SIA licence too.
How quickly can you provide cover for an alarm fault?
Call us with the building details and we'll confirm the earliest cover time. Short-notice cover is subject to availability.
