What the sign says

The sign marks the position of a fire extinguisher. You meet it mainly in tunnels and at service areas.

The exam trap

In a tunnel, opening an extinguisher niche usually raises the alarm at the control centre: a useful act even if you decide not to fight the fire.

The signs are the official depictions by the Federal Roads Office, from the annexes of the Signalling Ordinance (SR 741.21): official works, unprotected under Art. 5 of the Copyright Act. The explanations, by contrast, are written from federal law — never taken from a third-party catalogue.
