A lawn grate on a fire road is the legal use of open space, a biological active surface

The fire road is a hardened surface that allows vehicles of fire protection units to access the building at any time of the year.

It must be brought to a building containing a fire zone classified as hazardous to people ZL I or ZL II, or to a building belonging to the altitude group: medium-high, high or altitude, containing a fire zone classified as hazardous to people ZL III, ZL IV or ZL V.

According to the Regulation of the Minister of Interior and Administration of 24 July 2009 on fire water supply and fire roads, in order to meet the requirements for roads leading to buildings from groups 1 and 2, it is not enough to use only eco-mesh. The Act in question does not indicate which area should be considered biologically active.

However, according to the legal opinion of February 8, 2019, issued by a legal counsel (Kancelaria Prawna) at the request of geoSYSTEM sp. Z oo, if the eco-grilles are placed on a solid foundation and sand is used as the filling material between the grilles, this is the solution can be considered biologically active under applicable law.

A fire road is any area of ​​a building, yard or shed where a production or storage fire zone is located, if the fire load density of this zone exceeds 500 MJ / m2 and at least one of the following conditions is met

the area of ​​the fire zone exceeds 1,000 m2,

there is a room with an explosion hazard there;

a building containing a production or storage fire zone with a fire load density below 500 MJ / m2 and an area exceeding 20,000 m2;

In addition, a low-rise building with a fire zone classified as hazardous to people ZL III with an area of ​​more than 1000 m2, including an above-ground floor other than the first floor or containing a fire zone classified as hazardous to people ZL V and with over 50 beds, is also considered a fire road.

The fire road must be designed so that vehicles can pass without changing direction. If a detour is necessary, it should be at least 20 m x 20 m in size. A fire road section of no more than 15 m in length is allowed, from which exit is possible only by reversing. The minimum radius of the external curves of the fire road must not be less than 11 m. The minimum width of the fire road should be at least 4 m, and its longitudinal slope should not exceed 5%. Within the city limits and on land, the fire road must allow the passage of vehicles with an axle load of at least 100 kN on the road surface; in other places, the minimum width must not be less than 3.5 m.

Fire roads are roads with a maximum gradient of less than 5%, the surface of which is capable of withstanding the passage of firefighting equipment.

Fire roads may be narrower than 3 m if their axle load on the road surface is at least 50 kN.

In the provision of the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure, in the wording in force after January 1, 2018, a legal definition of the term "biologically active area" was introduced.

In the previous version of this provision, this area was referred to as "biologically active area". This terminology was not understood by citizens and international experts. Therefore, the Minister decided to unequivocally define it as a "biologically active area", which means an area arranged in a way that ensures natural vegetation of plants and retention of rainwater, as well as 50% of the area of ​​terraces and flat roofs with such an area and other areas ensuring natural vegetation of plants, with an area of ​​not less than 10 m2, and surface waters in this area.

A fire road is a strip of land, usually in the center of an urban area, that is not built up or planted with trees. It is intended for emergency exits as well as for emergency traffic.

Fire roads are often paved, not unpaved, so that emergency vehicles can drive over them without any problem. They can also be used as parks and green spaces in emergency situations.

In the context of the definition presented above, it should be emphasized that a literal interpretation of the above-mentioned the provision of $ 3 par. 22 of the ordinance of the Minister of Infrastructure leads to the conclusion that in order to determine whether a given area is a biologically active surface, it is only necessary to assess whether the area, which has been classified as a biologically active surface, meets the condition of ensuring natural vegetation. Consequently, on the basis of the provision referred to above, there are no grounds to indicate any additional conditions that would constitute the basis for such an assessment - in particular, an assessment with regard to the way the land is used. So if a given area is arranged in a way that ensures natural vegetation of plants, then regardless of the way it is used
