in fire fighting is increasing in size. The code already recognizes that larger dimensions

passage of two fire apparatus during a fire or EMS emergency.)

lane as described in Section 503.3 shall be maintained at all times.

occupants left unprotected by the shut down until the fire protection system has been
returned to service.

in Section 202.)
