Fire Department Signs
Fire Department Signs FAQs
What are fire department signs used for?
These signs help firefighters and emergency responders quickly locate critical infrastructure — like fire connections, hydrants, pumps, and sprinkler valves — during an emergency so they can act swiftly.
What standards and codes should fire department signs follow?
Fire department signs often must comply with NFPA fire code, local fire marshal requirements, and reflectivity guidelines to ensure visibility day and night.
What materials are best for fire department signage?
Reflective aluminum is ideal for outdoor installations, while UV-resistant plastic works well for indoor or sheltered areas. Some signs also include photoluminescent or high-intensity sheeting.
Where should fire department signs be placed?
Signs should be mounted above fire department connections, near hydrants, along fire lanes, at pump rooms, and on walls adjacent to sprinkler control stations — in locations where they are clearly visible to responding personnel.
Can I order custom fire department signs?
Yes — you can customize signs with your building’s layout, connection type, address numbers, or special instructions while still meeting fire safety standards.
