Going back about 65 years, I can remember at the conclusion of a major operation, usually in a 1 story commercial bldg., a watch line was established. This consisted of about 2 lengths of double cotton jacket 2/1/2" hose with a brass Elkhart controlling nozzle in front of the building, stretched from a nearby hydrant. This was usually manned by a member of one of the 1st alarm companies to monitor and hit any hot spots that may pop up - from the street. Members were relieved on a botating basis until no further need as determined by a chief.
Later on into the 70's, a watch line was usually established with an engine, no matter what the building type, mainly for the same reason - but additionally to keep unauthorized people/occupants from entering the building, pending an investigation by either the Fire Marshals, the NYPD bomb squad or both. This was more for the purpose of scene evidence preservation, especially in the event of a fatal fire.
Now it seems that after every major job, the I.C. is establishing a watch line. I'm just wondering if that's to get the 1st due companies back to qtrs. so that they can go back in service sooner.
Jack, do you have anything to add or correct on this?
