Firewatch

Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following. Other duties may be assigned.

• Maintain surveillance of areas where hot work – welding or cutting with torches – has occurred. Welding and cutting both cause sparks and bits of molten metal to fly into the surrounding area.
• Maintains a lookout for small fires started by these sparks and bits of slag.
• Should a fire begin to develop or occur, they execute their primary duty of sounding the alarm and, if possible, attempt to control the fire.
