Would the level then be one where the truck is parked? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Smith, Steven D.

So if the FD can drive around to the side of the partially exposed portion of the garage, that would be the lowest level of FD vehicle access. If the FD can't then it's not.
