That's why Fast Guard Service, a national leader in professional security and emergency response, is making it known coast to coast: If you need fire watch coverage—anywhere in the U.S., anytime, day or night—Fast Guard Service is the name to call.

With certified fire watch personnel trained to meet city-specific licensing requirements, we deliver compliant, professional, and prompt response to critical situations where fire alarm or sprinkler systems are down, or "hot work" (like welding or cutting) is being performed.

What is a Fire Watch—and Why Does It Matter?

Most business owners and property managers are unaware of what a fire watch is until it's urgently needed.

A fire watch is a temporary safety measure that involves continuous and systematic surveillance of a building or area when fire protection systems—like sprinklers or alarms—are out of service.

Essentially, a fire watch professional becomes a human fire alarm, patrolling a property by sight, smell, and sound, looking for signs of smoke, fire, or heat. If a fire is discovered, they:

  • Call 911 immediately
  • Alert all occupants to evacuate
  • Document activity in a fire watch log
  • Help prevent catastrophic loss of life and property

There is no sleeping during fire watch. The job is active, alert, and constant—fire watch can mean the difference between life and death.
