Lanie,

Here are some things to take into consideration:

1.? Canopy should be 15' or higher and as open on all sides as possible to allow

good airflow to remove exhaust fumes as much as possible.? If your approaches to

the covered area create an incline or decline to get under the canopy, then this

should be adjusted.

2.? The parking surface is big enough to allow for 4 or 6 units to park there

and still have room for vehicles to drive by or get out and leave.??For vehicle

width, plan on 1.5?standard parking spaces (approx 15 feet) and the length of 2

standard parking spaces.? You can have additional parking area outside of the

covered area for over-flow that can be used unless it is really inclement

weather.

3.? The parking surface needs to be LEVEL and not tilt one way or the other,

side to side or front to back.

4.? Any and all fresh air intakes for the hospital need to be located as far

away as possible from the ambulance entrance.? 150 feet or further from the

closest possible spot that an ambulance can be left idling.?

5.? Entrance doors need to be equipped with positive pressure air devices so

that when doors open, air is forced out into the ambulance bay and not drawn

into the building

6.? The entire parking area should be under video recorded surveillance

I think that is about all I can think of tonight.? Good luck on your project.

I am not aware of any ambulances that will not fit under the cover at

Parkland or Childrens. Several departments run medium duty chassis and

have extended headroom but to my knowledge they all fit.
