A Fire Action (Dialled Manually) Sign is important because it provides clear instructions on what to do in the event of a fire, specifically guiding occupants on how to manually dial emergency services. This sign ensures that everyone knows the correct emergency number to call and the vital information to provide, such as the location of the fire, helping to speed up the response from firefighters and other emergency responders.
The sign helps reduce confusion and panic during a fire by offering straightforward, easy-to-follow steps. Clear guidance is crucial in emergencies where quick, calm action can save lives and minimise property damage. By prominently displaying these instructions, the sign ensures that even those unfamiliar with emergency procedures can act effectively.

Overall, this sign is vital for enhancing fire safety awareness and preparedness, ensuring that occupants can quickly and correctly alert emergency services, which ultimately contributes to faster fire control and safer evacuations.
