<p>We (or Christian) are talking about areas that must be kept free,
especially near buildings, so that fire brigade vehicles can stand
and work there in case of an emergency. For example, it is not
allowed to park there, no objects may be placed there etc. In
German-speaking countries it is very common to find areas that are
specially designated for this use (I don't know what the situation
is like in other countries). These areas can be e.g. paved areas
or just grass, sometimes with surface=grass_paver (these areas
must be able to carry vehicles weighing up to 16 tons). I think
tagging of these areas is very useful for use by rescue services,
as Christian apparently intends to do, or for micro mapping
purposes.</p>
<p>How about <b>"emergency = rescue_area"</b> (very rarely in use)?
I agree that landuse should not be used in this case, but we have
"emergency" for this. For fire fighters access ways there is
already "highway = service" + "service = emergency access" in use
(see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Demergency_access">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Demergency_access</a>).</p>
<p>(Another question I ask myself in this context: How do you mark
footways/path that serve as fire fighter access - i.e. are
designated, suitable and wide enough for this purpose? I have
already used "highway = footway" + "motor_vehicle = emergency" in
these cases.)<br>

There are also administrative fire service regions/districts in Victoria

That's areas in fire protection guidelines that will be reserved for

Sorry, but what do you mean by "fire service areas", & "reserved for
emergency vehicles"?
Are you referring to fire stations & emergency lanes?
I found quite a few that are tagged as landuse=military which is in my

No, not even knowing for sure what we're talking about, but I can see that
would be wrong!
