Incident Sign Ordering Catalog

Approaching and Leaving Fire Activity Zones

Use these signs when incident management activities occur throughout an incident zone over a long section of road. Use a FIRE ACTIVITY AHEAD sign with a mileage plate indicating the length of the traffic control zone as the first sign in a series of incident management signs. Install additional FIRE ACTIVITY AHEAD and mileage signs every 5 miles if activity spans more than 5 miles. Use an END FIRE ACTIVITY sign to let road users know that they may resume normal driving.
