Fire Point Signs
Fire Point Signs identify where people can find fire alarm call points or grouped firefighting equipment. They help you guide staff, visitors and contractors in offices, warehouses, schools and public buildings, reducing hesitation when a fast emergency response is needed.
Where Fire Point Signs Should Be Positioned
You should install Fire Point Signs directly above or beside alarm call points, extinguisher groups and fire equipment locations. Choose entrances, corridors, stair approaches and open work areas where the sign can be seen before someone reaches the equipment.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Fire Point Signs
Use the larger size where people need to recognise the fire point from a corridor, warehouse aisle or open area. The smaller size suits close-range door, wall or equipment positions where the sign is already within normal approach distance.
| Size option | Practical viewing distance | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 100 x W 200 mm | Up to around 5 metres | Close wall, door or equipment mounting |
| H 200 x W 400 mm | Up to around 10 metres | Corridors, larger rooms and busier routes |

Installing Fire Point Signs Without Creating Confusion
Fire Point Signs questions answered
What are Fire Point Signs used for? Fire Point Signs are used to identify the location of a fire alarm call point, grouped firefighting equipment or a recognised emergency fire point.
Should this sign go above the alarm call point or beside it? Place it where people naturally look first. Above the call point usually works best, but beside it is suitable if the sign remains clearly visible.
Which size should you choose? Use H 100 x W 200 mm for close-range wall or door mounting and H 200 x W 400 mm where visibility is needed from further along a corridor or open space.
Is rigid plastic or self-adhesive vinyl better? Rigid plastic is better for a longer-term wall-mounted sign. Self-adhesive vinyl suits smooth, clean surfaces where drilling is not preferred.
Do Fire Point Signs help with fire safety compliance? Yes, they support clear fire safety identification when installed in suitable locations and used with recognised EN ISO 7010 and BS 5499 style fire signage.

Helpful fire point sign options to compare
For a square fire alarm message, compare fire alarm activation point signs where you need a clear call point reminder. Useful near alarm buttons, reception routes and staff access points.
If you need a different material finish, choose rigid plastic fire point signs for everyday fire equipment locations. A practical choice for indoor workplaces, corridors and maintenance areas.
For corridor visibility from both directions, use double-sided fire point corridor signs where people approach from either side. Helpful for long walkways and shared escape routes.
To review the wider range, browse fire point signs and call point signage before choosing your best format. This helps you match sign style to viewing position and building layout.
