Around here there are special parking areas for emergency vehicles but
they're only used at crowded trailheads, or busy commercial shopping
areas. We try to never park next to a burning building. :-) Where we
park a large fire truck is up to the responders, and is based on a
variety of criteria that aren't always obvious until you arrive, like an
ability to turn a big vehicle around... Also areas near buildings often
have other obstacles, like dumpsters, bike racks, etc...
The cleared areas near buildings we think of as fire-mitigation zones.
ie.. Zone 0 is within 2m of the building, Zone 1 is more like 15m,
etc... While we might park there sometimes, we usually park out on the
main road as it's safer. Running a few hundred meters of hose is common.
I'm not 100% sure on the best tagging other than maybe parking=yes and
access=emergency is appropriate.
