Fire Watch Security Guard Services in Los Angeles
Sharp Guard Group provides fire watch security guards in Los Angeles when fire alarms or sprinklers are out of service, during hot work, or when the fire department orders a fire watch. Our BSIS-licensed guards (PPO #18098) patrol on a set schedule, keep time-stamped fire watch logs, check exits and extinguishers, and call 911 at once if they find fire or smoke. Same-day starts are often possible.
What Our Fire Watch Security Guards Do
When your fire alarm or sprinkler system is offline, the building still has to be protected and the fire code still applies. Our fire watch guards walk every floor, stairwell, mechanical room and storage area on a fixed schedule. They look for fire, smoke, sparks and blocked exits, check that extinguishers are in place, and record each round with the time and findings. If they see fire or smoke, they call 911, alert occupants and meet the fire department at the door.

When Do You Need a Fire Watch in Los Angeles?
A fire watch is usually required whenever a required fire protection system is out of service, or when the fire code official orders one. Building owners, general contractors and property managers in Los Angeles most often call us in these situations:
- Fire alarm or sprinkler system down for repair, upgrade or after a power failure
- Hot work such as welding, cutting or roofing torches on an active job site
- Fire department or insurer orders, special events and buildings under renovation
What a Fire Watch Log Must Include
The log is your proof that the building was protected. Fire marshals and insurers can ask to see it, so every Sharp Guard Group fire watch log is complete, legible and kept on site until the system is restored. Each entry records:
- Date, time and guard name for every patrol round
- Areas checked, hazards found and the action taken
- Any 911 calls, alarms, visitors or fire department contacts
Same-Day Start
Fire watch is usually urgent. Call (949) 289-3238 with the address, which systems are down and the hours you need, and in most cases we can have a licensed guard on site the same day.
Scheduled Patrol Rounds
Guards follow a set route through the whole building, commonly every 30 to 60 minutes or at the interval your fire department sets, so no area goes unchecked.
Clean Handover
When the system is repaired and approved, we hand you the complete set of logs for your records, the fire marshal and your insurance company.

Fire Watch for Construction Sites and Hot Work
Construction sites carry the highest fire risk while systems are not yet live or only partly installed. Our guards watch hot work areas during the work and for the required period after it ends, check for smoldering material, keep fire lanes and hydrants clear, and make sure extinguishers are within reach. We work alongside your superintendent and safety manager, follow site rules and PPE requirements, and can combine fire watch with overnight construction security on the same shift.
Licensed, Trained and Insured Fire Watch Guards
Every fire watch guard holds an active California BSIS guard card, has passed a Live Scan background check and works under Sharp Guard Group's Private Patrol Operator license PPO #18098. Before the first shift, guards are briefed on fire watch duties, extinguisher locations, evacuation routes and emergency reporting for your building. We carry general liability insurance and can send a certificate of insurance to your property manager or general contractor. Sharp Guard Group has served Los Angeles since 2015.
How Much Does Fire Watch Cost?
Fire watch is billed hourly with a minimum shift. The price depends on building size, the number of guards needed to complete each round, and how long the system stays offline. Call for a same-day quote.
