Fire Alarm - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A Fire Alarm sign is used to clearly mark the location of a fire alarm activation point, typically a manual call point or break glass unit. This sign ensures that, in the event of a fire or emergency, individuals can quickly find and activate the alarm to alert all building occupants and begin the evacuation process immediately.

Using a Fire Alarm sign is crucial for life safety and emergency preparedness. In a high-stress situation, visibility and speed are essential—this sign helps eliminate confusion and delays, ensuring that the alarm is triggered without hesitation. It also supports compliance with fire safety regulations, which require all fire alarm points to be clearly identified.

The sign should be installed in offices, schools, hospitals, factories, warehouses, retail environments, and all public or commercial buildings—anywhere that a fire alarm call point is present. Common placement includes near exits, stairwells, corridors, and high-risk areas like kitchens or workshops.

For maximum visibility, the Fire Alarm sign should be mounted directly above or beside the manual call point, at eye level and in a well-lit location. Consistent use throughout a facility ensures everyone can respond quickly in an emergency, helping protect lives and property.
