Fire Safety Signs
Fire safety signs are used to assist people during fire emergencies, ensuring buildings are fire compliant.
Essential Fire Safety and Emergency Exit Signs in NYC
Fire safety signage is not just helpful—it’s mandatory. In New York City, local laws and agencies like FDNY and HPD require specific signs to be clearly posted throughout residential and commercial buildings. These signs help direct occupants during emergencies and provide critical information to first responders.
At NY CITY SIGNS, we manufacture every sign required by regulatory bodies—and offer custom fire signage solutions when needed. From permit filing to professional installation, we handle every detail to ensure your property remains compliant and well-prepared. Need help right away? Call us at 929-759-9082 .
Different Types of Fire Safety Signs
Types of Fire Safety Signs We Offer
Fire safety signs typically feature high-visibility colors—like red, black, and white—with bold, easy-to-read lettering to stand out during an emergency. Most signs are simple, with clear instructions in just a few lines of text. The exact requirements depend on your building's specifications and the relevant codes from HPD and the NYC DOB.
Here are some of the most commonly required fire signs:
Emergency Exit Signs
Direct occupants to the nearest exit during a fire evacuation.
Fire Extinguisher Signs

Fire Evacuation Signs
