Fire Lane Striping

A fire lane that is not clearly marked gets blocked, and that is a liability the day it matters. We stripe curbs, lettering and hatch zones to your fire department's requirements so access stays open and enforceable.

About this service

Clear access on the worst day

Fire lanes exist so a pumper truck can get to the building on the worst day of the year. If the curb is not red and the pavement does not say NO PARKING FIRE LANE, people park there, and the property owner carries the liability.

We paint curbs, stencil lettering and hatch keep-clear zones to your fire department's requirements, and lay it out to work with post-mounted signage so the lane is enforceable, not just painted.

Common questions

Good to know

What are the rules for fire lanes here?

Requirements come from the fire code and your local fire department. We confirm width, lettering and colour before we paint.

How often does the red fade?

Curb paint on busy lots typically needs a refresh every one to two years. We can bundle it with your re-stripe.

Do you install the signs?

No, we paint the lane and lay it out to work with post-mounted signage, and can recommend a sign supplier.
