In Florida, maintaining fire safety and compliance is essential for businesses, construction sites, and residential properties. Whether you’re facing a temporary fire system malfunction, conducting hot work, or dealing with building code violations, having reliable fire watch guards on-site is crucial. Fast Guard Service offers expert fire watch services across Florida, ensuring that your property remains safe, secure, and fully compliant with local regulations.
Florida is a state known for its dynamic and diverse environments, from bustling urban centers to serene residential areas. However, with this diversity comes the responsibility of maintaining rigorous fire safety standards. Fire watch guards play a vital role in protecting properties, especially when traditional fire protection systems are compromised or during high-risk activities.
1. Continuous Monitoring During Fire System Malfunctions
When your property’s fire alarm or sprinkler system is temporarily out of service, the risk of fire increases significantly. Florida regulations require that a fire watch service be in place during these periods to ensure any potential fire hazards are detected and addressed promptly.
For instance, a commercial building in Miami recently experienced a malfunction in its fire suppression system. Fast Guard Service was called in to provide fire watch services around the clock. Our trained fire watch guards patrolled the property, ensuring that any fire risk was identified and managed immediately, maintaining both safety and regulatory compliance.
2. Safety During High-Risk Activities
Hot work, such as welding, cutting, or any activity involving open flames, poses a significant fire risk. In Florida, it’s mandatory to have fire watch guards on-site during these operations to prevent accidental fires. Our fire watch guards are trained to monitor these high-risk activities, identify potential hazards, and act swiftly if a fire occurs.
A construction project in Orlando needed fire watch services during extensive hot work operations. Our team was on the ground, monitoring the site closely to prevent any fire-related incidents. Thanks to their vigilance, the project was completed without any fire hazards, ensuring the safety of all workers and compliance with state regulations.
3. Compliance with Florida Fire Codes
Florida has strict fire safety regulations, and compliance is not just a legal requirement—it’s essential for the safety of your property and the people on it. Fast Guard Service’s fire watch guards are well-versed in Florida’s fire codes, ensuring that your property meets all necessary regulations and avoids costly fines or legal issues.
For example, a hotel in Tampa faced potential fines due to fire code violations related to their outdated fire alarm system. By hiring Fast Guard Service to provide fire watch guards, they were able to remain operational while addressing the necessary repairs, all while staying compliant with local fire regulations.
4. Protecting Special Events and High-Profile Gatherings
Special events, especially those with large crowds or involving open flames, require additional fire safety measures. Whether you’re hosting a music festival, corporate event, or private gathering in Florida, having fire watch guards on-site is crucial for ensuring that the event runs smoothly and safely.
During a recent beachfront event in Fort Lauderdale, Fast Guard Service provided fire watch guards to monitor the site, ensuring that all fire safety protocols were followed. Our presence allowed the event organizers to focus on delivering a successful experience, knowing that any fire-related emergencies would be swiftly managed.

The duties of fire protection personnel may vary between jobs and location sites, but there are basic tasks that come with each position. In the course of their duties, our trained personnel, (who are familiarized with the layout), will check all exits and fire extinguishers. They will have on their person, the materials necessary to execute a fast evacuation and to notify any other occupants in the event of a fire. In most cases, Fast Guard’s personnel would also carry a portable horn, a flashlight, a full all-access set of keys to the premises, writing materials, and a copy of their specific duties.
A typical private fire watch company can charge $35-50+ per hour depending on the location and if it’s an emergency. If the Fire Marshall has to staff the occupancy, he usually charges upwards of $200 per hour because he will be using fire department personnel and would have to pay overtime etc.
