Fire Alarm Call Point Sign for safety managers, landlords and facilities teams who need a clear red fire point sign beside alarm activation points in workplaces, schools, offices and public buildings.
A Fire Alarm Call Point Sign shows you where to raise the alarm during a fire emergency. It helps staff, visitors, contractors and the public quickly identify the activation point in corridors, exits, reception areas, warehouses and shared workplaces.
Where Fire Alarm Call Point Signs Should Be Installed
You should install this sign directly above or beside manual call points, especially on escape routes, final exits, reception routes, stair approaches and busy corridors. Clear placement helps people act quickly without searching.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Fire Point Visibility
Use the size below where people approach the alarm from short to medium distances. Keep the sign high enough to be seen over normal movement, but close enough to the call point that nobody mistakes which alarm it identifies.
| Size | Best viewing range | Practical use |
|---|---|---|
| H 297 x W 210mm | Up to around 10–12 metres | Corridors, exits, reception areas and fire point locations |

Fire Alarm Call Point Sign questions answered
What is a Fire Alarm Call Point Sign used for? It identifies the place where someone can manually activate the fire alarm, helping people raise the alarm quickly when they spot a fire risk.
Should this sign go above or beside the call point? Fit it close enough to the call point that the connection is obvious. Above or immediately beside the alarm is usually the clearest choice.
Is this sign suitable for visitors as well as staff? Yes. The red colour, text and F005-style pictogram help unfamiliar users understand where to act without needing site knowledge.
Can I use vinyl instead of rigid plastic? Use self-adhesive vinyl on smooth, clean indoor surfaces. Choose rigid plastic when the sign needs more durability or a more permanent fitting.
Does this sign replace a fire action instruction sign? No. It identifies the alarm call point. A fire action sign should still explain what people must do after discovering a fire.
