How far does a fire assembly point sign have to be from a building?

There are no specific guidelines for distance away from a building during a fire drill, however, there are a couple factors to consider when designating assembly points for drills.
Many emergency coordinators fail to realize that weather conditions could dictate where you assemble. If there is wind that is blowing smoke and debris it could impact your assembly point in the event of a fire, so an alternative assembly point(s) should be considered.
Likewise, you have to consider that if the building becomes fully involved with fire the heat, smoke and debris field coming from the building should also be considered.
To answer your question, no there isn't a specific distance spelled out by a specific regulation, but common sense and good planning should make an assembly point at a distance where fire fighting equipment can get access, where the heat, flames and potential smoke will not impact personnel in an assembly point.
A good rule of thumb for moving away from the building for an assembly point would be at least twice the height in distance away.

What is a fire mark?
At one time in the US, firefighters were paid by the people who had buildings on fire. However, the insurance companies realized it would be better for them if firefighters went right to work on the fire, rather than discussing prices. The insurance companies placed a sign on buildings they insured (called a fire mark) that told firefighters they would be paid by the insurance company if they put a fire out at that building. The fire mark sign was usually the insurance company logo.

Yes! If there is a fire everyone will need to know where to go to get out. Some national building, fire and life safety codes only require a fire exit sign if the shop is large enough to require more than one exit. A main entrance that is obviously and clearly identifiable (under all conditions) as an exit may also be locally exempt from additional exit signage. IBC 1003.2.10 (2000).
