It is important that emergency response personnel have clear access to fires and medical incidents. In the event of a fire or life-threatening medical emergency, fire personnel must be able to reach the scene as quickly as possible. In a true emergency, a few seconds literally can mean the difference between life and death. How quickly crews can begin fighting a fire often will determine how successful they are in stopping the fire and preventing further damage. Fire Code requirements pertaining to emergency access were written to help the Fire Department's respond quickly and safely to all occupancies in the city. Your compliance with these requirements will help us to better help you in an emergency.

The Phoenix Fire Department has created this site to assist you in complying with Fire Department emergency access requirements. The diagrams and drawings provide the approved details for Fire Department Access requirements. The Fire Department hopes that this information will help you to understand Fire Code requirements and our Emergency Access needs.
