Low Level EXIT signs Remember those fire safety talks as a little kid? They told you to stay down low and crawl when you encounter smoke. Smoke rises and tends to increase in volume and intensity near doors and exits. Then why are traditional EXIT signs high above the door and ceilings. Why do most codes require they be located near the ceiling when smoke would obscure them and render them useless? The answer is simple – Tombstone Regulations.
