What Is a Fire Watch Security Guard?

A fire watch security guard is a trained professional who monitors a building, construction site, or public event space to detect fire hazards and respond quickly in case of an emergency. Fire watch is typically required when your fire alarm, sprinkler system, or fire suppression system is malfunctioning or temporarily offline.

In cities like Los Angeles, these guards help ensure your site remains compliant with local fire codes and Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) requirements.

 

When Is Fire Watch Service Required?

You may be legally required to hire fire watch guards in the following situations:

  • Fire alarms or sprinkler systems are under repair or out of service
  • Hot work is being performed, such as welding, grinding, or soldering
  • A fire marshal has issued a fire watch order during inspection
  • Your site is in a high-risk fire zone, especially during wildfire season
  • You’re organizing a public event in a venue lacking active fire systems

If you’re unsure whether fire watch is required for your property or project, we can review your situation and provide clear guidance based on city ordinances.

  • Performing routine patrols and monitoring for smoke, fire, or hazards
  • Keeping a detailed fire log for LAFD inspections and recordkeeping
  • Reporting fire threats immediately to emergency services
  • Assisting with evacuation if necessary
