Keep Your Hot Work Site Safe With Fire Watch Guards
Hot work doesn’t stop being dangerous when you put down the torch. Sparks can smolder for hours, creating fire risks that standard security can’t handle.
What Makes Hot Work Dangerous:
- Welding sparks travel up to 35 feet from work areas
- Fire watch after hot work prevents 80% of workplace fires
- Hidden embers can ignite hours after work completion

When You Need Hot Work Fire Watch
A dedicated fire watch is not just a precaution—it’s a requirement – any time you’re performing tasks like welding, cutting, brazing, grinding, or torching near combustible materials.
You’re required to have a hot work fire watch in place when:
- Welding, brazing, or cutting operations are conducted near flammable gases, vapors, or materials that could ignite
- Hot work is performed in confined spaces or areas with limited visibility or airflow
- Fire alarm or sprinkler systems are temporarily out of service, either due to maintenance, repair, or new construction
- A fire marshal mandates coverage as part of your permit or compliance inspection
- Insurance policies or OSHA regulations require dedicated oversight for safety and liability purposes
- Compliance orders are required if a fire marshal, venue manager, or insurance company demands coverage
A qualified fire watch guard must be present during the entire operation and remain on site after hot work concludes.
At Fast Fire Watch Guards, all our personnel are trained to monitor hot work activities like fire watch welding and ensure full compliance with OSHA 1910.252 and NFPA 51B safety standards.
We work directly with jobsite supervisors and fire marshals to ensure your operation meets every regulatory box—before the first spark flies.
What's Included in Hot Work Fire Watch
