Overwatch Fire Protection Management LLC offers comprehensive fire protection oversight and management services, focusing on preventive maintenance and diligent record-keeping. Our aim is to ensure our clients' fire and life safety assets remain in optimal condition, meeting the stringent compliance requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), insurance providers, and internal health and safety policies. Overwatch Fire Protection Management steps in to fill this gap, providing expert fire oversight and management services. We help ensure businesses, regardless of their size, receive optimal life safety services from their designated providers. In the complex modern landscape, property managers must often contend with multiple service providers to manage their assets, and unfortunately, service providers do not always act with the property manager's best interests in mind. The service provider may not have adequate resources to manage the equipment effectively, leading to unnecessary expenses for the property managers. At Overwatch Fire Protection Management, we mitigate this risk by offering an independent third-party review of reports, deficiencies, and quotes, and by managing the long-term health of assets. With our expert advice, oversight, and quality assurance tracking, property managers can have confidence in their fire safety provisions.

Our mission is to facilitate optimal management of life safety equipment, thereby providing our clients with peace of mind and lowered liability. We offer unbiased recommendations in this specialized and rapidly evolving field, serving as a trusted partner for property managers and a knowledgeable contact point for service providers. Positioned at the intersection of these two entities, OFPM assures quality and cost-efficiency, leading to lower expenses for property managers and an accelerated quote closure rate for service providers. Our overarching aim is to minimize life safety risks while enhancing the efficiency of fire and life safety operations.

Overwatch Fire Protection Management was founded by Mickey Hilderbrand, a fire protection industry veteran with nearly 20 years of experience. Mickey has held various roles, from fabricator and technician to manager, at numerous service provider companies in the Puget Sound Area. Mickey's career has instilled in him a deep-seated passion for providing the best customer service experience possible for his clients. After years of speaking with business owners, property managers, and AHJs, Mickey noticed a troubling lack of consistency in the industry, often leaving the customer to bear the cost. This realization motivated him to leave his managerial position in 2021 to start OFPM, where property managers' service from providers is carefully tracked and managed.
