FAQs
- Does private patrol respond to fires?
- Officers immediately call 911 on any open flame, document on body-cam, and stay on scene to brief responding fire crews — we do not extinguish fires beyond a handheld extinguisher within training scope.
- How do you protect vacant commercial parcels from arson?
- Vacant patrol photo-logs board-up status and dumpster locks every tour; cellular alarm + sprinkler monitoring is recommended where existing utilities permit.
- Is arson common in Sacramento?
- Deliberate arson is rare; the higher-frequency pattern is unintentional warming-fire escalation in encampment-adjacent industrial corridors.
- What insurance documentation do you provide?
- Sunrise PDF logs every fire-related observation with timestamps, photos, body-cam reference and any responding-agency case numbers for the insurance file.
