Fire protection design specifications for garages, repair garages, and parking lots are as follows: Specification 1: Garages, repair parking spaces, and underground parking lots must not be arranged in areas with flammable, flammable liquid, or flammable gas production and processing equipment or storage areas. Garages must not be adjacent to or constructed together with Class A or Class B industrial plants or warehouses. Specification 2: Repair parking spaces, paint shops, charging rooms, acetylene rooms, and Class A or Class B item warehouses must not be set up in underground or semi-underground garage spaces. Gasoline tanks, fuel dispensers, compressed natural gas or LNG storage tanks, and CNG dispensers must not be installed in garages or repair garage spaces.
To be honest, having driven for decades, I know firsthand how crucial fire safety regulations for garages and parking lots are—they directly impact our property and personal safety. These regulations include zoning designs, such as using fire-resistant partition walls to separate different areas in vehicle garages to prevent fire spread; repair garages must install automatic sprinkler systems to handle flammable materials like oil and gasoline; parking lots need wide evacuation routes and clear signage to ensure quick escape in case of fire. Ventilation systems must also be adequate to prevent exhaust buildup that could trigger explosions. I once saw an old garage that failed to meet standards—a small fire burned several cars, causing losses of hundreds of thousands, which was totally avoidable. So, whether building new or renovating, always comply with national standards like GB 50067, hire a professional company for inspections, and maintain firefighting facilities regularly to park with peace of mind.
