Fire Point - Projecting Sign - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A Fire Point - Projecting Sign is used to clearly indicate the location of fire safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, fire hoses, or fire blankets. In the event of a fire, quick access to this equipment can be crucial in controlling or extinguishing a small fire before it spreads. The projecting design helps ensure that the fire point is visible from multiple directions, increasing the chances of it being noticed quickly in an emergency.

The sign enhances overall fire safety by helping building occupants, staff, or emergency responders locate fire-fighting tools without confusion or delay. This visibility is especially critical in stressful situations where people may panic or be unfamiliar with the building layout. The use of standardised symbols and colours (typically red and white) also aids quick recognition.

Fire Point - Projecting Signs should be installed wherever fire-fighting equipment is stored or grouped together in a central location, often referred to as a "fire point." Common places include warehouse areas, construction sites, commercial kitchens, factories, schools, and public buildings. These signs should be placed above the fire point at a height and position that is easy to see from a distance.

They are particularly useful in large open spaces, long corridors, or areas with high shelving or machinery where wall-mounted signs might be obscured. Projecting signs extend at an angle from the wall, making them visible from both sides of a hallway or across a room. This increases the likelihood that someone can locate fire-fighting equipment swiftly and effectively, enhancing on-site fire preparedness and compliance with safety regulations.
