The Irving Fire Department enforces the International Fire Code (IFC) as adopted by the State of Texas and the City of Irving. Fire watch is required when a fire alarm is out longer than 4 hours in 24, a sprinkler is impaired longer than 10 hours, during hot work in occupied structures (IFC Chapter 35 and NFPA 51B), at active construction sites without complete fire protection (IFC Chapter 33 and NFPA 241), at special events with temporary structures, and any time a fire marshal violation requires interim watch.

A continuous documented patrol by a trained certified guard. Intervals run 15 to 30 minutes depending on the property. High-rise and large construction jobs use multi-guard rotations. Each round is logged with timestamp, GPS, observations, photos, and signature. Coverage runs 24/7 with documented shift handoffs until the impaired system is restored and Irving Fire Department documentation requirements are met.

Our Irving Fire Watch Guards conduct continuous fire safety patrols, identify ignition sources and hazards, supervise hot work with the required 30-minute post-work hold, maintain communication with property management and dispatch, document every round, and act as first-response notification. Every guard is licensed through the Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Bureau (DPS PSB) and holds NFPA and OSHA fire watch credentials. Specialized training covers construction, healthcare, and high-rise environments.

A licensed guard reaches most Irving addresses in under three hours of your call, often sooner near Las Colinas, Williams Square, or the Toyota Music Factory, since we dispatch from within the local area rather than across the state. We answer 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Tell us the address, what triggered the need, and how long coverage should run, and we will confirm a guard and a start time on that same call.

Texas requires a fire watch whenever a building’s built-in fire protection is impaired or while hot work is underway. That includes a sprinkler system out of service under NFPA 25, a fire alarm offline under NFPA 72, welding or cutting under IFC Chapter 35 and NFPA 51B, and construction conditions under IFC Chapter 33 and NFPA 241. The Irving Fire Department, working under the International Fire Code, enforces these rules locally. If you are unsure whether your situation needs coverage, call us and we will walk through it with you before dispatching.

Our fire watch service runs $30 to $50 per hour. The exact rate depends on the property size, the number of guards needed, and the patrol schedule the code or your permit requires. We do not require a long-term contract, so you pay only for the coverage window you actually need, whether that is a single overnight shift during hot work or several weeks while a sprinkler system is repaired. Call us and we will give you a clear rate before any guard is dispatched, with no hidden setup fees.

The guard patrols a fixed route across your property on a set schedule, watching for smoke, heat, and any sign of fire. Each pass is recorded in a patrol log with a time stamp and the guard’s name. If a fire starts, the guard immediately calls 911 and follows the building’s evacuation plan. During hot work, the guard keeps an extinguisher within reach and stays on watch for 30 to 60 minutes after the work stops. The completed log becomes your proof of coverage for the Irving Fire Department.

Often, yes. Irving’s Las Colinas corporate towers take fire alarm or sprinkler systems offline during upgrades, standpipe repairs, and tenant build-outs. Under NFPA 25 and NFPA 72, a building cannot sit unprotected while those systems are down, so a fire watch fills the gap until repairs are verified. We cover high-rise towers through these projects, patrolling each floor and logging every pass so the property has a clean record for the Irving Fire Department and the Dallas County program.

Among Irving fire watch companies, we staff coverage around the clock, get a licensed guard to most properties within three hours, and document every patrol to the International Fire Code standard the Irving Fire Department enforces. From Las Colinas corporate towers and airport logistics construction to University of Dallas renovations and the Toyota Music Factory, we know the buildings and the inspectors. Call us and you get a guard, a clear rate, and a record for the fire marshal.
