What is fire-lane?

A fire lane is a designated area or roadway that is kept clear of vehicles and obstructions in order to provide access for emergency vehicles in the event of a fire or other emergency. Fire lanes are typically marked with signs and/or pavement markings indicating that parking or stopping is prohibited in order to keep the area clear for emergency responders.

Fire lanes are required by most building codes and regulations to ensure that emergency vehicles can quickly access a building in the event of a fire or other emergency. It is important for property owners and managers to keep fire lanes clear and enforce parking restrictions in order to maintain the safety and accessibility of the area.

Violating fire lane regulations by parking in a designated fire lane can result in fines and towing of the vehicle. It is important for individuals to be aware of and comply with fire lane regulations in order to help ensure the safety of the property and its occupants.
