Fire hose signs

Fire hose signs are essential safety and compliance signage used to identify the location of fire hoses in buildings. These signs ensure that occupants, building staff, and firefighters can quickly locate fire hose cabinets, reels, or connections during an emergency. By posting clear and durable fire hose signs, property owners comply with FDNY, NFPA, OSHA, and IBC codes while reducing liability and supporting effective fire suppression. Proper fire hose identification saves valuable time in emergencies, when fast access can make the difference between containing or losing control of a fire.

Common examples include “Fire Hose,” “Fire Hose Cabinet,” “Fire Hose Connection,” and photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) fire hose signs for visibility in smoke or blackout conditions. These signs are typically made of aluminum, plastic, or luminous materials to withstand high-traffic environments and harsh conditions. Whether installed in stairwells, corridors, mechanical rooms, or near standpipe systems, fire hose signs provide critical guidance to first responders and ensure code compliance in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
