The fire alarm is sounding, smoke is filling the hallways, and then the power cuts out, plunging your building into absolute darkness. In that chaos and panic, how do your employees, customers, or tenants find their way out? A dark, confusing hallway can quickly become a dead end. It’s a real possibility that you have to prepare for.

Without clear, illuminated paths to an emergency exit, you are putting lives at risk. Panic sets in instantly when people are trapped in the dark. A simple evacuation becomes a life-threatening ordeal. Having a correctly installed system is not just about meeting a building code but about giving people a chance to get out safely.

The team at ASCO Fire provides and installs the exit signs and emergency lighting that will help guide people to safety during a power outage. Talk with us now to set up your emergency support system.

Exit Sign Installations Are Your Guide to a Safe Evacuation

An exit sign is a beacon in the most stressful of situations. The placement of every single sign matters. It needs to be visible from a distance, even with smoke in the air, clearly pointing people toward the nearest emergency exit. Your building’s layout, hallway length, and corner configuration all dictate where a sign must go.

We assess your facility and determine the most effective placement for each sign, whether mounted on a wall or hanging from the ceiling. Your signs will be highly visible, durable, and connect to an independent power supply so they stay lit when the main power goes down.

Lighting the Way When It Matters Most with Our Emergency Light Installations

During a power outage or fire, your primary lighting may become useless. That’s when emergency lighting activates. These are powerful light units strategically placed to illuminate the path of egress, including stairwells, corridors, and any area people must pass through to reach an exit. They operate on a backup power supply, automatically turning on the instant they detect a loss of power.

Installing an emergency lighting system involves integrating it directly with your building’s electrical wiring. We map out your entire facility to identify potential dark spots and areas that could cause confusion during an evacuation. We then install the light units to provide complete, uninterrupted coverage, casting a bright, clear light so everyone can see the path to safety.

Inspections and Testing You Can Depend On

Installation is only the first step. To stay compliant and ready, your system needs regular checks. We provide complete testing services to validate that your equipment works correctly. This includes a 3-minute monthly test and a more extensive 90-minute annual test, which confirms your backup power supply can last through an extended power outage.

After every inspection, we provide OSHA-compliant tagging. This physical tag on your equipment serves as a clear record for fire marshals, insurance agents, and your own peace of mind, showing the date of the inspection and that your systems are up to code. This annual service is a small investment for proven readiness.

Who We Serve in North Jersey

You need a fire protection partner who knows your industry’s specific challenges and code requirements. We install and service exit and emergency lighting systems for a wide range of facilities across North Jersey, including:

Keeping People Calm and Moving

A lit path prevents panic. When the lights go out, people freeze. Emergency lighting gives them the visual cues they need to orient themselves and move confidently and quickly toward an emergency exit. This small detail dramatically increases the odds of a safe and orderly evacuation.

Fulfilling Your Legal Responsibility

Local and state fire marshals, along with the National Fire Protection Association, have strict rules about these systems. A properly installed and maintained system keeps you in compliance with the local building code. It protects you from heavy fines and, more importantly, from the liability that comes with a poorly protected building.

Protecting Your Assets and Your People

This is the most direct benefit. These systems are a fundamental part of your building’s safety equipment. They are designed for one purpose: to get people out alive. The safety of every person inside your building depends on these lights working perfectly when they are needed most.

Don’t Leave Safety to Chance

In an emergency, there are no second chances. The lights and signs that guide people out of your building must work flawlessly. It’s not a place to cut corners or hope for the best. A functioning emergency light and exit sign system is one of the most vital safety features you can have.

You have a responsibility to the people who work in and visit your facility. Give them a clear path to safety. Contact ASCO Fire today, and let’s schedule the installation of your exit signs and emergency lighting system.
