Fire watch guards at a San Francisco building performing documented rounds

Fire Watch Services in Houston

Keep people and property safe while systems are offline—or hot-work is underway.

When a fire alarm or sprinkler system is impaired, or welding/cutting/grinding is scheduled, our Fire Watch Houston teams step in fast. 

We conduct documented, time-stamped rounds; verify clear egress paths; stage extinguishers; and monitor conditions until systems are restored or permits are closed. 

Officers are Texas DPS (Private Security Program)–licensed, site-trained, and aligned to your AHJ expectations. We coordinate with facilities, contractors, and your alarm vendor, keep a concise log for your records, and escalate immediately to 911 per your protocol.

Our officers are fully licensed by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), trained according to industry standards set by ASIS International, and work in close coordination with the Local Police Department to ensure rapid response and community safety. Whether you require threat deterrence, emergency response, or asset protection, our team delivers professional, discreet, and reliable security solutions tailored to your needs.

Impaired-System Fire Watch (Houston)

When alarms or sprinklers go down—planned maintenance, water damage, device failures—we institute a continuous watch with time-controlled rounds. Officers monitor impairment zones, note panel status, verify egress routes and stairwells stay clear, and watch housekeeping risks (debris, combustible storage, propped doors). 

We confirm valve/tag states with facilities, track contractor activity, and keep a rolling log with exact timestamps, locations, and observations your AHJ and insurer can review in seconds. If smoke, heat, or fire indicators appear, we follow your protocol: immediate 911, building notification, and guided evacuation assistance while staying in radio contact with management.

Quick duties: timed rounds • egress/housekeeping checks • panel/impairment notes • contractor coordination • 911/escalation per SOP • shift log delivery

Hot-Work Watch & Permit Control

Cutting, welding, and grinding create heat that can smolder after the last weld. Our program verifies permits and boundaries, confirms PPE and extinguishers are staged, and maintains a clear spark perimeter.

During operations we watch for stray ignition and heat migration (ceilings/voids), protect passersby with signage, and log interruptions. After work ends, we run a cooldown watch for the required interval, checking adjacent areas and hidden voids before closing the permit. Where allowed, we attach photos and timestamps to your log so safety teams and the GC can file and audit easily.

Quick duties: permit verification • extinguisher/PPE check • spark perimeter control • cooldown timing • signage & hazard cordons • photo/timestamped log

What sets our
approach apart?

Are your fire watch guards licensed and insured?

Yes. All personnel are BSIS-licensed, background-checked, and insured. Site-specific onboarding is completed before deployment.

 

Intervals are set by your AHJ and impairment conditions. We align routes/timing to those requirements and document each round.

 

Yes. We monitor hot-work areas, maintain clearance around combustibles, confirm extinguishers are present, and document continuous watch during operations and post-work cool-down.

Absolutely. We maintain detailed fire watch logs and provide summaries for your building file and AHJ inspections.

In most cases, same-day coverage is available. Share the address, affected systems, and expected duration for immediate scheduling.

Rate depends on hours, site size, required intervals, and any additional duties (e.g., access control after hours). We send an itemized proposal within 24 hours.
