Fire Safety Signs
Fire Safety and Emergency Exit Signs NYC
Fire safety signs are essential in any building. In the event of a fire, these signs help guide occupants to safety and let emergency responders know critical building information so they can fight the fire as quickly as possible. For this reason, regulatory agencies like HPD, FDNY, and others require buildings install certain fire safety signs in set locations throughout the property.
Brooklyn Signs can produce any of the signs required by local agencies, as well as customized safety signs when needed. We also offer permit filing and sign installation to make sure the right signs are installed in the correct places to meet all safety regulations in effect on your building.

What Are Fire Safety Signs?
Because fire safety signs are most important during an emergency, these signs generally use a standard color, design, and shape so they can easily be recognized during an urgent situation. For colors, safety signs usually use red, black, or white with a contrasting text color for readability. Text should be kept to a maximum of three or four lines.
The required fire safety signs for your property will depend on HPD and DOB regulations for your specific building. Commonly used signs include:
Emergency Exit Signs
Posted on emergency exits, these signs guide building occupants to exits so they can safely leave the building in case of emergency.
Fire Extinguisher Signs
These give directions to fire extinguishers and/or label fire extinguishers in the building.
Fire Evacuation Signs
Evacuation signs can include egress maps and other building information so occupants can make a safe evacuation during a fire.
Fire Hose/Fire Pump Signs
These signs direct emergency crews to fire hoses and the pump room for the building to assist with firefighting.
Electrical Room Signs
In the event of an emergency, these signs indicate the location of the building’s electrical room so that emergency responders can quickly access electrical shut-off switches for the building to prevent further damage.
Fire Sprinkler System Signs
These informational signs provide occupants and emergency personnel with details about a building’s sprinkler system. This can include where the pump room is located, if the system is automatic, or if the building is not equipped with a sprinkler system.
No Smoking Signs
Around flammable materials, no smoking signs warn people not to smoke in the area.
Fire Door Signs
Heavy weight, fire-resistant doors can be used in buildings to prevent the spread of fire. These doors must remain closed to be effective, and fire door signs can alert people not to prop fire doors open.
Material and Customization Options
In addition to being fire retardant, these highly durable materials allow signs to withstand typical elemental conditions and offer easy cleaning so that the sign is always readable. For outdoor safety signs, we can recommend weather resistant materials and UV protected inks. Certain materials can also have reflective coating added for nighttime visibility.
While we can customize any of our signs, fire safety signs are subject to certain technical requirements by HPD and FDNY. It is important to keep in mind that any customizations will still need to be code compliant.

Benefits of Fire Safety Signs
Clean and Modern Look
Nobody expects a fire. But when it happens, it’s important those on your property feel prepared. Proper signage can make visitors to your building feel secure and encourages them to observe safety measures to prevent fires from starting.
Meets Local Building Ordinances
The Housing Preservation and Development department and FDNY impose strict safety measures on buildings in NYC. Not only does installing the correct signage keep your tenants and property safe in the event of a fire, these signs protect owners from fees and financial or criminal responsibility for noncompliance.
Durable
In order for fire safety signs to be effective, they must be present and readable at all times, even in poor conditions. These signs are made of high-quality, flame resistant materials that last so the sign will be there if it’s needed.
