1 Answers
Fire truck access lanes must have a clear width of 4 meters and a clear height of 4 meters. Below are the specific requirements for setting up fire lanes: 1. Fire Lane: The clear width and overhead clearance should not be less than 4.0 meters, and the slope of the open space where fire trucks park should not exceed 3%. Pipes and concealed drains on fire lanes must be able to withstand the pressure of large fire trucks. 2. Circular Fire Lane: There should be at least two connections with other lanes. 3. Dead-End Fire Lane: A turnaround or turning area should be provided, with the turning area not smaller than 12m x 12m. For high-rise buildings, it should preferably not be smaller than 15m x 15m. The turning area for large fire trucks should not be smaller than 18 x 18 square meters.
