Frequently Asked Questions
What are the fire lane requirements in St. Louis?
St. Louis fire codes require fire lanes to be at least 20 feet wide with 13.5 feet of vertical clearance. Lanes must be marked with red curb paint and 'NO PARKING - FIRE LANE' stenciling. Requirements vary by building type, so we verify local codes for each project.
How often should fire lane markings be repainted?
Fire lane markings should remain clearly visible at all times. In Missouri's climate, we recommend repainting every 12-18 months. Faded markings can result in citations and create liability if emergency access is blocked.
What are the penalties for non-compliant fire lanes?
Non-compliant fire lanes can result in fines from the fire marshal, failed inspections, and potential liability if emergency access is impeded during an incident. Property owners can face daily fines until violations are corrected.
Do you paint both curbs and fire lane striping?
Yes, we provide complete fire lane marking including red curb painting, 'FIRE LANE' stenciling, 'NO PARKING' text, and any required striping. We ensure your property meets all local fire code requirements.
Can fire lanes be used for deliveries or temporary parking?
No. Fire lanes must remain clear at all times for emergency vehicle access. Even temporary parking or loading is prohibited. We can help design your lot layout to include designated loading zones separate from fire lanes.
What color paint is used for fire lanes?
Fire lanes require specific red curb paint that meets visibility standards. The curb is painted solid red, and 'FIRE LANE' or 'NO PARKING' is stenciled in white or contrasting color. We use commercial-grade, UV-resistant paint.
