About this service
Fire marshals require clearly painted fire lanes and "NO PARKING" markings on access roads and around hydrants. We paint solid red curbs, hatched no-parking zones, and the appropriate stencils so your property stays in compliance with local fire code.
What's included
- Curb painting in the color your fire marshal specifies (red or yellow)
- NO PARKING FIRE LANE stencils at the spacing the marshal requires
- Hatched no-parking zones in front of hydrants, doors and loading areas
- Fire apparatus access route lines along drives and building perimeters
- Marking to match a written notice from the fire marshal's office
- Durable traffic paint that stands up to plows and salt

Common questions about fire lanes & no-parking zones
- What color do fire lanes have to be in Connecticut?
- It depends on the town. The local fire marshal sets the standard, and many Connecticut towns specify yellow curbs and lettering while others use red. If you have a letter from the marshal, we match it exactly. If not, we can check with the office before we paint.
- How often do fire lane markings need to be repainted?
- Whenever they are no longer clearly legible. In practice that is every one to three years, sooner on lots with heavy plow traffic. Faded fire lane markings are one of the most common items on a re-inspection list.
- Do you install fire lane signs?
- We handle the pavement and curb markings. Posted signs are usually installed by a sign contractor or the property's maintenance crew, and we can tell you what the marshal is likely to ask for.
