# Sealing a fire brigade access road

## Summary

Fire service access routes must be labelled for existing buildings and new construction projects.
## Description

Fire brigade access roads and staging areas enable fire and rescue service personnel to effectively fight fires, rescue people and quickly intervene in other hazardous situations. Fire service access routes must be labelled for existing buildings and new construction projects.
