Quick! To the exit! That’s what you will surely hear when an emergency like fire, earthquake or a terrorist attack happens inside or near the building you are in. And that’s what exit signs are for. Have you ever wondered what an exit sign is for? It’s not there for display, or just for you to obviously see the fire escape door. When an emergency happens and you are confused on where to go, the exit sign is like a beacon of light that will guide you out to safety. That is why these signs are visible to all and, sometimes, translucent. So when electricity is cut off and it’s dark in the building, you can still see the light. Most likely, the emergency light is near the exit sign as well.
EXIT SIGNS. These are signs of hope. There is a way out. You won’t be stuck inside a building when you know where the exit sign is. That’s my understanding, anyway. And borne out of a personal experience. I can never forget climbing down from the 22nd floor. I thought I would pass out! I didn’t think about the hardship of going down the flight of steps. But rather, the blessing that no harm came to me. All because of the exit sign. See how important it is?
