AMBULANCE / FIRETRUCK BAYS
Ambulance and firetruck bays are typically connected to another occupied building where
people reside. It is extremely critical to monitor toxic gases and exhaust appropriately to
ensure the safety of the residents and crews.
A prominent benefit of installing a gas detection system in a garage is the cost
savings on electrical and energy consumption. On average within one year of
installing a system, the money spent on a gas detection system is recouped.
According to IMC 2018 – the only alternative to running fans at full

ventilation equipment operations and noise pollution.
