Fire equipment signs
Fire equipment signs show where firefighting equipment is kept, so people can find it quickly. These printable signs use the red square and white symbol for fire hose reel, fire blanket, fire hydrant, fire fighting equipment and fire telephone, and plain red text signs for dry riser and sprinkler stop valve. Print on A4 or A3, in portrait or landscape, and place at eye level or above the equipment. Fire extinguisher and fire alarm signs have their own pages, linked below.

Print tips
- Print at "actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page", so the margins stay even.
- Use thicker paper or card (160gsm or more) if the sign will be handled.
- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it
- Above hose reels, blankets and hydrants
- Kitchens, where a fire blanket should be easy to spot
- Stairwells and plant rooms with a dry riser or sprinkler valve
- Sites with a private hydrant
- Clubs, halls and shops with fire points
Questions
Where should a fire equipment sign go?
Close to the equipment and visible from the way people would approach it, usually above it so it is not hidden by objects.
Are paper signs good enough for fire equipment?
They are fine for a temporary location or to replace a missing sign. For permanent use, rigid or photoluminescent signs last and can be seen in power cuts.
Where are the fire extinguisher and fire alarm signs?
On their own pages in the fire safety section.
Do I need a sign for every item?
Your fire risk assessment decides that. Ask your fire risk assessor.
