Fires can be unpredictable, but with the right precautions, you can protect your property, employees, and loved ones. Whether you’re facing a system outage, conducting hot work, or organizing a large event, our professional fire watch guards are here to ensure your safety and compliance. Let’s dive into what fire watch services are, when they are needed, and how Fast Guard Service can help you stay safe.
Fire watch services involve a team of trained professionals who monitor a building or area for signs of fire. These services are especially critical when fire alarm systems or sprinkler systems are temporarily unavailable or during activities that pose a higher risk of fire, such as hot work (welding, cutting, etc.). Fire watch guards are responsible for detecting fire hazards, responding to emergencies, and ensuring compliance with local fire codes.
Fire watch services are necessary in several situations:
At Fast Guard Service, we understand that fire risks don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. That’s why we offer 24/7 fire watch services, ensuring that your property is monitored around the clock. Whether it’s an emergency situation or a scheduled need, our team is always ready to respond.
I remember one incident where a client called us late at night because their fire alarm system failed unexpectedly. They were hosting a conference the next morning, and the building needed to be safe. Our team quickly deployed, providing peace of mind and ensuring the event could proceed without issue. It’s these moments that highlight the importance of reliable fire watch services.
Our fire watch guards are not only well-trained but also experienced in various settings. They are skilled in identifying fire hazards, using fire extinguishers, and executing evacuation procedures. This expertise ensures that your property is in capable hands.
One of our guards, Sarah, shared her experience from a recent assignment at a high-rise undergoing renovations. “During a routine patrol, I noticed sparks from a welding area that could easily ignite nearby materials. By acting quickly, we prevented a potential fire. It’s about being vigilant and proactive,” she explained. This story underscores the value of having trained professionals on-site.
Navigating fire safety regulations can be complex, but it’s crucial for legal compliance and safety. Our team stays updated on local fire codes and regulations, ensuring that your property meets all necessary requirements. This not only protects your property but also helps you avoid fines and legal issues.

In short, a Fire Watch Guard is a provisional arrangement in which a person or patrol physically checks buildings and/or other property for extreme fire hazard situations.
Fire Watches are normally conducted when the probabilities of a fire-related incident are high. For example, whenever ‘hot work’ construction processes are taking place on-site (common ‘hot work’ processes are welding, soldering, flame-cutting, riveting and brazing). Another typical ‘high-probability’ example would be in the case of malfunctioning alarm and/or sprinkler systems.
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.
