Fast Guard Service has announced its fire watch coverage is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in all 50 U.S. states.
As reported by Fast Guard Service, the company provides trained fire watch personnel to monitor properties where fire alarm systems or sprinklers are offline or during activities like welding or cutting that pose increased fire risk.
The company stated that its staff are certified and licensed in accordance with city and state-specific regulations.
Coverage is available from New York to California and Florida to Oregon.
Fire watch services are used when fire protection systems are out of service or during high-risk activities such as construction or hot work.
Fast Guard Service stated that a fire watch professional conducts constant patrols, using sight, smell, and sound to detect signs of fire.
Their responsibilities include alerting emergency services, warning occupants to evacuate, and maintaining fire watch logs.
According to the company, “There is no sleeping during fire watch. The job is active, alert, and constant.”
Fast Guard Service said its personnel meet the specific requirements of each jurisdiction.
In New York, staff hold Certificates of Fitness from the FDNY.
In Chicago, fire guards are licensed by the Bureau of Fire Prevention.
In California, patrols are approved by local authorities.
Coverage is also provided in states such as Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Minnesota, North Carolina, Maryland, Mississippi, and Alabama.
Staff are trained to comply with NFPA standards and local fire codes.
According to Fast Guard Service, fire watch should be requested when fire systems are down, hot work is being performed, or during construction or repairs.
Fire marshals or inspectors may also require a fire watch.
Additional scenarios include delays in fire system replacement or testing.
The company said it offers immediate nationwide dispatch and provides real-time logging of fire watch activities.
Fast Guard Service CEO Roderick C. Payne Jr. said: “When seconds count, we deliver professional fire watch coverage with urgency, training, and care.
“No one does it faster—or better—than Fast Guard Service.”
