In Case of Fire Signs & Fire Emergency Procedures

Fire codes (ie. Ontario Fire Code Regulation 213/07, section 2.8.2, requires buildings to develop Fire emergency procedures in their Fire Safety Plan. These are intended to provide instructions to occupants and they are required to be posted. “In Case of Fire” signs are typically how this information is posted in the building.  It is a critical life safety tool that provides clear, immediate instructions during an emergency, helping occupants evacuate safely while ensuring compliance with applicable regulations.

At Safety Media, we manufacture a comprehensive range of In Case of Fire signage designed for residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. These signs communicate essential actions such as activating the fire alarm, calling emergency services, using stairwells, and avoiding elevators.

Designed for Every Fire Alarm and Building Type

Our collection is organized to match different fire alarm systems and building requirements:

  • Single-stage and two-stage alarm instruction signs
  • “Use Stairs / Do Not Use Elevator” signage
  • Emergency procedure notices for various occupancies (including hotels and kitchens)
  • Bilingual and accessible options
The vast majority of Fire Alarm Systems are single-stage. These systems alert occupants to get out of the building immediately through the use of a singular tone.
 

Built for Visibility, Compliance, and Durability

All signs are available in high-quality materials such as vinyl, plastic, aluminum, and photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) plastic and provide high-contrast layouts for quick recognition.

With over 600 variations available, our team helps you select the correct signage based on your Fire Safety Plan, building type, and code requirements - ensuring full compliance and peace of mind.
