When Safety Counts, Experience Matters
Our team members have proudly served Dallas and the surrounding area for decades. We draw from an extensive network of guards and prefer to recruit individuals with years of fire watch or firefighting experience. Professionals from National Firewatch know how to deploy when they arrive on-site and will ensure no time is wasted safeguarding your critical assets.
Â
Most importantly, we have the capacity for same-day service — something that most of our competitors can’t manage. Our mission is to provide experienced fire watch guards to protect your Dallas personnel and property the moment they are needed. This approach has helped keep hundreds of Dallas organizations safe and compliant.
What We Do
National Firewatch was founded as a branch of the security service provider The Guard Alliance Inc. Our sister company has grown a nationwide presence since 2010 and expanded over time to include fire watch guards in the Dallas area. We recognized a need in the market for a dedicated fire watch service provider that can deliver same-day service from experienced guards, and National Firewatch was founded as a result.
Since then, we have assisted hundreds of Dallas organizations by keeping them compliant with NFPA and OSHA regulations. We allow you to keep your facility or construction site open and productive while outages are being addressed or “Hot Work” is being performed.
When Do You Need Fire Watch Security Services in Dallas?
Broadly speaking, you’ll need fire watch guards on-site if your facility suffers an outage or if “Hot Work” is performed without industrial safety mechanisms. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) drafts many of the laws that govern outages, while OSHA governs hot work rules.Â
If an outage is left unaddressed, you could face evacuation orders, complex liabilities, fines, and fire damage. Outages that require fire watch deployments would include:
- Fire safety systems that are old, damaged, or out of order
- Loss of power that prevents fire safety systems from functioningÂ
- Construction or demolition that could result in an outageÂ
- On-site activities that push safety systems beyond their limits, such as large events, pyrotechnic displays, or wildfire riskÂ
OSHA rules governing hot work specify that fire watch must be deployed when heat application tasks like welding, torching, or brazing are done outside of dedicated industrial settings. Most often, these would apply to construction teams. National Firewatch offers same-day deployments so your Dallas projects can proceed on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re looking for fire watch services in Dallas for the first time, you may have some questions. Here are the answers to a few we often hear.Â
The law requires fire prevention systems. When these systems age or suffer damage, assets may be left unprotected. This scenario could result in complex liabilities for system operators. Trained human eyes are the best way to cover gaps and mitigate fire risk.
Fire watch guards are trained professionals who cover gaps in a facility’s fire detection systems. Our guards offer 24/7 coverage, patrolling sensitive areas and alerting authorities if fire risks are detected.
Fire watch guards identify potential fire threats and address them before they present a danger to key assets. Clients give us specific instructions based on the needs of each job site, and our fire watch professionals leverage their experience and training to improve overall safety outcomes. We also provide critical oversight for hot work that presents an inherent fire risk. An extra set of trained eyes ensures fire departments are contacted the moment a fire risk emerges.
Contact us if you require a fire watch expert to:
- Oversee “Hot Work” such as welding, torching or cutting in a high risk areaÂ
- Perform checks on fire safety systems such as alarms and sprinklers
- Identify hazards onsite that escalate the risk of fire damage
- Patrol the premises during periods of heightened fire risk
- Cover any gaps in your facility’s fire detection system
- Coordinate with fire authorities in the areaÂ
Fire watch guards may be required on site by the NFPA if your facility’s fire systems are not up to code. Outages must be reported to the fire department, fire watch personnel deployed, and irregularities fixed promptly. Facility owners and operators may face complex liabilities if fire watch is not deployed.
Guards are obliged to report any anomalies to the fire department to ensure the safety of everyone on-site, as well as the wider community. Fire watch professionals should only be dismissed after municipal fire authorities have inspected the premises.
The duties and responsibilities of fire marshals vary slightly by region. Generally speaking, the marshal is the local authority for fire code enforcement, investigation and public education.
You could face fines or shutdowns for violating minimum safety standards. Before enforcing these measures, the fire marshal may issue warnings depending on your region and the severity of noncompliance.
Exceeding safety standards protects employees, assets and profitability. Hiring a fire watch guard will help prevent fines and create a safe workplace for everyone involved. Contact us for more information about our fire watch services.
If your detection or suppression system has shown any evidence of malfunction, contact National Firewatch immediately for coverage. Failure to deploy fire watch may result in fines, complex liability issues and the loss of key assets from fire.
Even if everything is functional today, you will benefit from partnering with a Florida fire watch provider before problems arise. Should outages occur, you’ll need to deploy guards within hours, and this can be difficult if you have no preexisting relationship with a reliable service.
These services can vary depending on factors like:
- Location
- Complexity of the task
- Number of guards needed
- Situations requiring immediate response
National Firewatch provides customized hourly quotes for each deployment. Our goal is to keep costs affordable while offering personalized protection tailored to the needs of your job site.
