Coverage When Your Fire Systems Can’t Be

A fire watch is a trained person whose only job is to patrol your property, watch for fire hazards, and sound the alarm and call 911 if anything happens — required whenever your built-in fire protection is impaired. Under NFPA standards and local Texas fire codes, a fire watch is typically required when a sprinkler or alarm system is out of service, during and after hot work like welding or cutting, and when ordered by the fire marshal for an impairment or event.

Op6 fire watch officers conduct continuous patrols on the schedule your authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) or insurer requires, maintain a detailed written log of every round, and respond immediately to any sign of fire — keeping your people safe and your operation in compliance until your systems are restored.

Common Questions

Fire Watch — Answered

When is a fire watch required in Texas?
Generally whenever your built-in fire protection is impaired — a sprinkler or alarm system out of service, hot work such as welding or cutting, or when the fire marshal orders one for an event or impairment. Texas largely follows the International Fire Code and NFPA standards, but exact rules vary by city, your AHJ, and your insurer. We recommend confirming requirements with your local fire marshal.
What does a fire watch guard actually do?
A fire watch officer patrols your property on a set interval, watches for fire hazards, keeps a written log of each round, and — if a fire or hazard is found — immediately raises the alarm, calls 911, and follows your emergency plan. The goal is rapid detection while your systems are down.
