Fire lane striping isn’t optional — it’s a code requirement, and local fire marshals do check. If your fire lanes aren’t clearly marked with the right red paint, proper stenciling, and “No Parking” language, you can get cited. More importantly, unmarked fire lanes create real safety risks.
We do fire lane striping for commercial properties, apartment complexes, schools, and churches all over Vancouver. We know what the current code requirements look like and stripe to those specs. If you’re not sure whether your fire lane markings are still compliant, it’s worth having someone take a look — paint fades and requirements do get updated.

Common Questions About Pressure Washing in Vancouver, WA
How do I know if my fire lane markings are up to code?
If your red paint is faded, the stenciling is barely readable, or you’re not sure when the markings were last refreshed, there’s a good chance they need attention. We can walk your property and tell you exactly what meets current Vancouver fire code and what doesn’t.
How often do fire lanes need to be restriped?
Most commercial properties need fire lane markings refreshed every 2–3 years depending on traffic, weather exposure, and pavement condition. Vancouver winters are hard on paint — fading happens faster than most property managers expect.
What are the requirements for fire lane markings in Vancouver, WA?
Requirements typically include red paint on the curb or asphalt surface, “No Parking — Fire Lane” stenciling at regular intervals, and proper lane width clearance. Specific requirements can vary based on property type and local fire marshal standards. We stripe to current code so you don’t have to figure that out yourself.
Can I get cited for faded fire lane markings?
Yes. Fire marshals do conduct inspections, and faded or missing fire lane markings are a citable violation. Beyond the fine, unmarked fire lanes create real safety and liability exposure if emergency access is ever blocked.
Do you work on all property types?
Yes. We stripe fire lanes for commercial properties, retail centers, apartment complexes, schools, churches, and medical facilities — any size property across the Vancouver area.
