A fire watch is a temporary safety service provided by trained personnel whose primary duty is to identify and respond to fire hazards in environments where the risk of fire is heightened. Fire watch guards are deployed when fire protection systems (like sprinklers or alarms) are malfunctioning, or when hot work (e.g., welding, cutting, brazing) is taking place.
Continuously patrol the designated area looking for signs of fire or hazardous conditions.
Monitor hot work activities like welding or torch cutting.
Ensure access to fire extinguishers and other firefighting equipment.
Log and report all patrol rounds and findings for regulatory compliance.
Contact emergency services immediately if a fire or smoke is detected.
According to OSHA and NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) guidelines, a fire watch is required when:
A building’s fire alarm or sprinkler system is offline.
Hot work is being performed in a hazardous area.
Construction or demolition activities increase fire risks.
During events with large crowds and limited exits.
In facilities that have had recent fire code violations.

What Exactly is Fire Watch?
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, anytime that ‘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.
What do the Fire Watch Team Do?
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 familiarised 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.
When Are Firewatches Conducted?
Â
Whether in 15-minute increments or on the hour, patrol rounds are conducted on a regular basis and a log is kept recording each round. Accepted entries include the address of the facility, start and end times for the round, names of the Firewatch patrol and entries for any communication that occurred between the hired personnel and either the fire department or the Department of Public Safety. Personnel should also wear (at all times) a clearly visible form of identification (such as a vest or hat). In many cases, Fast Guard’s personnel may work in concert with municipal or volunteer fire departments.
