Frequently asked questions
After a fire or flood, properties are often left vulnerable to safety hazards, unauthorized access, theft, rekindling, and further damage. Additional site security helps protect the area, maintain continuity, and preserve chain of custody for insurance investigations and future reference.
Response times depend on the location of the incident, but emergency security services can often be deployed within 2 hours, especially in major urban centres.
Typical documentation may include initial site assessments, patrol and activity logs, site photos, ingress and egress logs captured using ESM’s Site Management System (SMS), incident reports, evidential continuity records, and final reports for insurers, investigators, or restoration teams.
