Fire Lane Pavement Marking
If your property doesn't have a curb or curb painting simply isn't practical, we apply clearly marked fire lanes directly on the pavement, so they're visible as per DFC Section 503 requirements (which govern how fire apparatus access roads and fire lanes are marked and maintained).
Fire Lane Sign Installation
If you need fire lane signs installed, we also offer this service. We supply and install 12" x 18" minimum reflective fire lane signs at code-required 50-foot intervals. These are mounted at 6'6" height on stationary posts. We also install companion "Tow Away Zone" signs where needed.
Fire Lane Restriping & Maintenance
Has your fire lane striping faded over time? We restore faded markings to continue to comply with the Dallas Fire Code regulations (to remain clean and legible at all times). This is typically recommended every 2-4 years, depending on traffic volume and weather exposure.
Fire Lane Compliance Assessment
Not sure if your current fire lanes meet the Dallas Fire Code? Contact us and arrange for us to assess your property against DFC Section 503 requirements. We're happy to provide a detailed report of any deficiencies to act on before they can be found in a fire marshal inspection.

Dallas Fire Lane Requirements We Follow
We already know where fire lanes should go, how wide they need to be, what color and wording the markings require, and how often signs or lettering must appear. We follow the Dallas Fire Code exactly, so emergency vehicles can access your property, and so you don’t risk getting fined or failing an inspection.
Dallas has adopted the 2021 International Fire Code with local amendments under Ordinance No. 32381, effective February 10, 2023. These requirements supersede general Texas or IFC standards and are actively enforced by the Dallas Fire-Rescue Department's Inspection and Life Safety Education Division.
When you choose CRI Striping Dallas, you don’t have to learn the fire lane regulations or worry about getting them wrong.

Marcus T.
Oak Cliff, Dallas
The detail they put into the curb striping was impressive. They followed the Dallas requirement for both vertical and horizontal faces perfectly. Our fire marshal mentioned it was one of the cleanest jobs he’d seen.
Sarah Jenkins

Managing an apartment complex means parking is always an issue. Since CRI installed the code-compliant signs and red striping, we finally have the legal standing to keep our fire lanes clear. Professional and fast.

STEP# 2
Site Assessment
We'll then visit your site at the agreed-upon date to evaluate your property's fire lanes against DFC Section 503 requirements. During our inspection, we'll measure your existing fire lane's dimensions and assess the current marking condition, as well as documenting any compliance gaps.
STEP# 3
Written Scope & Quote
Once we have the data we need, we'll provide you with a detailed written quote that specifies exactly what's included. This will include details like linear footage, the number of stencils required for the job, how many signs we'll install, and materials. No hidden fees.

PROTECTION
Towing Authority & Property Owner Protection
Here's something many property owners don't realize: under Texas Occupations Code § 2308.251(c), if your fire lane markings don't meet code requirements, you may not have legal standing to tow cars parked in them, even if they’re blocking emergency access.
Texas law says you only have the right to tow when your fire lane striping and signs meet code, so faded paint or missing wording can take that authority away. If you tow anyway, you could end up facing serious penalties, including paying back towing and storage fees and an additional fine.
We're here to make sure your fire lanes are clearly and correctly marked, so you can tow immediately and avoid legal trouble.
