Perhaps true of such areas set aside for firefighters.  But there are other
areas used by other emergency services.  In the UK there are small parking
areas set aside for use by police vehicles.  Ostensibly where they wait
for something to happen, probably just so they can have lunch.  Here's
one: https://goo.gl/maps/76Yv2vKKhpSnuDMd6  It's a bit weird because
it's parking for police patrol vehicles and also a turning area (it's not
specified who can use it, but it is an important part of a local bus route
where the bus does a 180-degree turn with passengers still on it).

It probably doesn't fall under emergency=* even though only vehicles
of one of the emergency services can park there.  I tagged it as
private parking, years ago, for lack of anything better.  If whatever
we come up with for the fire service can accommodate this then
I'll retag it.
