If regulations or fire safety protocols are updated, certified Fire Guards may need to attend refresher training to stay informed about current standards and practices.
Official guidelines and instructions for renewing the Fire Guard certificate are available on the local fire department’s website (e.g., FDNY). This ensures the information is accurate and up-to-date.
To renew the certificate, individuals must submit a renewal application and pay the associated fee. In some cases, updated training or proof of ongoing work in torch operations may be required.
The Fire Guard certificate is typically valid for 3 years. Renewal is required to maintain certification and ensure the Fire Guard is up-to-date with fire safety standards and regulations.
Failure to renew the certificate before its expiration date can result in its revocation. Certified individuals must ensure their credentials remain valid to continue working as a Fire Guard.
