A Fire Action – Auto Brigade – Lift Sign is important because it provides clear instructions for occupants in buildings where lifts (elevators) are present that the fire alarm system automatically notifies the fire brigade (Auto Brigade). The sign informs people that emergency services will be alerted automatically when the alarm sounds, reducing the need for manual calls and ensuring a faster professional response.

The sign also emphasizes that lifts should not be used during a fire evacuation due to safety risks like power failure or opening on floors affected by fire. Instead, it directs occupants to use the stairs, helping to prevent accidents and ensure a safer evacuation process.

Additionally, the sign supports fire safety compliance by clearly communicating both the automatic alert system and the proper evacuation procedures involving lifts. It serves as a crucial reminder during fire drills and training, reinforcing the correct actions to take.

Overall, the Fire Action – Auto Brigade – Lift Sign enhances occupant safety by promoting awareness of the automatic fire notification system and safe evacuation practices, helping to protect lives and property during emergencies.

This fire action sign states:

"If you discover a fire
Operate nearest fire alarm point
The fire brigade will be called automatically
Leave the building by the nearest exit
Report to your assembly point at [ SPACE FOR LOCATION ]
Do not stop to collect personal belongings
Do not use lift"
